I'm really struggling with a bad toothache right now. Can I take ketorolac 10mg to help ease the pain just for now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ketorolac 10mg can be used for temporary relief of toothache pain. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage which is usually 10mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It's also important to not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a dentist for proper evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause of the toothache.

View allI've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?
I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.

Who should I see for removing a mucous cyst a dentist or a dermatologist? I'm not sure which specialist handles this kind of thing and I'm a bit worried about getting it checked out
For a mucous cyst removal, you should consult a dentist or a dermatologist. Dermatologists commonly handle cysts on the skin, while a dentist would be the best choice for a mucous cyst located inside the mouth. If the cyst is causing discomfort or persists for more than a couple of weeks, it's recommended to seek professional help.

I've been noticing some white patches in my mouth for the past few days and Im a bit worried. I've attached an image so you can get a better look. Could it just be a fungal infection, or is it something more serious? Since it doesnt hurt, bleed, or scrape off, and the size hasn't increased, I'm feeling a bit confused about what it could be. Should I be concerned about oral cancer? I've never smoked, drank alcohol, or chewed tobacco. Do you think it's serious enough to need immediate medical attention? This has been going on for about a month and I have them on both sides of my gums near my wisdom teeth. I dont remember hurting myself with my toothbrush, although my teeth might've bitten the same spot. Right now, Im using a multivitamin and Kenacort gel. What do you think?
May be a case of oral lichen planus. To help with this condition, you can try using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine and applying a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone dental paste. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Vitamin B complex supplements to support oral health. It is advisable to consult with a dentist or an oral medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and management plan. Please continue with your multivitamin supplement and kenacort gel, but consider adding chlorhexidine mouthwash and Triamcinolone dental paste for the oral lesions. If there are any concerns or if the condition worsens, do seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.
