How long before the motrin kicks in?
It’s 4 AM, and I’m really hoping to get some sleep. I woke up at 3 AM with a sharp toothache affecting two of my teeth—one in my upper jaw and the other in my lower jaw. I thought the pain might subside, so I laid there until 3:50 AM before taking three Motrin. Now, at 4:16 AM, the pain hasn’t eased at all. How long does it typically take for Motrin to kick in? Should I take another dose?

depends on empty stomach or full? Empty stomach it will get absorbed faster & work faster, say in 10 min but full stomach, it may take 30-45 min.
For an infection like this – it’s pretty deep, so it might take a couple of days before there is noticeable improvement, and a few more days after that for the swelling to completely disappear, if the antibiotics are working. If you don’t see any signs of improvement after 5-6 days, you should call the doc – some other treatment approach might be needed. Motrin is unlikely to do much for this type of swelling.
Don’t take more. It usually takes 45 minutes to an hour to work. Hope you feel better. Take some more in about 4-5 hours to keep the pain away. You are going to call a dentist tomorrow right?

30-47 minutes. Once it kicks in, you’ll feel better and let me know, how it goes. Don’t do anymore, drink some juice or H2O. Get enough sleep!
