I can't take aspirin or anti-inflammatories as they upset my stomach big time! I find, if I take Tylenol I end up drowsy and headachey for about twenty four hours, therefore it just ain't worth it at all, unless the pain is really bad, in which case that's the time to see the doctor.

I know about oil of cloves Kat - good stuff and best applied a little on cotton wool, but, since my toothache will hopefully be got rid of tomorrow after root canal I haven't bothered with it this time.
