HI, I am 18 years old and have earache. Dr. Consult me to take painkillers twice a day. But I use it thrice. Is there any side effect?

All painkillers carry risks ? even OTC ones ? but it's the narcotic painkillers that carry the highest risk of addiction. ... Additionally, because many believe that the fact that the drug comes from a doctor means its safe and nonaddictive, the risk of addiction to these drugs increases.
