My husband had a root canal that had to be redone 5 days later. His pain level has been way up the scale from the time this procedure began 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. I called in for an antibiotic 3 days ago and the pain was much better. Then the dentist called today and said he should come back in to finish it because he had a cancelled appt.
After he went in today the pain escalated beyond what it has been and didn't respond to the original dose he had taken before so I gave him two vicodin and three ibuprofen and he's resting. but still hurts and is worried about sleeping tonight. I would like to know how much of each of the three meds he should take together. What is the best combination?
What is the maximum dose of vicodin and ibuprofen together when your pain is extreme?

If the vicodin is with tylinol then I think the upper dosage for that is around 2500 mgs of tylinol per day. What was the third medication? Is it an antibiotic? Because those have a standard dose that should not be changed from what the Doctor is prescribing. The ibuprofen should not take more that it says on the bottle. But since a root canal is not chronic pain it should go away after several weeks. I've had four root canals and after the nerve is taken out there should not be anymore pain. Ahh what a great feeling! No pain!!!
