At present I am taking the drug Afinitor...in the past few days I have developed severe pain in my lower jaw where a root canal was done about 7 years ago.  I went to the dentist and they said the tooth is OK and gave me some antibiotic pills to get rid of the infection...I have only been taking them for about 1.5 days but still have the pain so I have been taking extra strength tylenol (2 every 4 hrs)...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesnt...I am also using a cold compress on the area but am still not getting much relief.  I am now considering taking some Tylenol 3 (with codeine)!  Do you think this poses any problems in interaction with the Afinitor.
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The pain at the site of root canal treated tooth, may be due to re-infection. I would suggest you to visit a dentist and get reject or extraction of tooth done, depending on the severity of tooth infection. Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics prescribed. Brush and floss your teeth daily. Rinse your mouth after every meal. Visit a dentist in every 6 months. Take care.
