I've been on pain killers for about 3 days now, as i've been having severe toothache. The pain killer contains chlorzoxazone 250 mg, diclofenac sodium 50 mg, paracetamol 325 mg. I've been taking two tablets, twice daily. This morning, I noticed I bed wet, this is something i've never done for well over 25 years. Please, what could have been the cause?

Well this is not due to the painkiller as your thinking of, it may be due to something else that is hard to tell now.

No tooth pain can be completely cured by taking medication. Always remember toothache can temporarily subside after taking medication but if you want to stop dental pain permanently you will need to visit the dentist. The dentist will help you find out the real reason for tooth pain, the real source of tooth pain, will take xrays, and can guide you accordingly. Toothache is a common dental problem that is characterized by pain or discomfort in or around a tooth. The pain can be mild, moderate, or severe. The pain may be sharp, dull, or throbbing, and may be constant or intermittent. A toothache can be life-threatening if not treated on time. What will happen in your visit to the dentist for a toothache? Firstly, the dentist will check for- cavities, gum condition, whether there is food lodgment, sensitivity check, and vitality test to know whether the tooth is alive or not, the dentist will do the cold test, and tap test. Secondly, the dentist will check outside your mouth for any swelling, pus drainage, sinus opening, lymph node enlargement, face asymmetry, and more. Thirdly, take bitewing and periapical x-rays of that particular tooth or side or will recommend opg, and cbct according to the condition. Finally, the dentist will you give a treatment plan. If the pain is due to a cavity then, after taking an x-ray, the dentist will see if the tooth is savable or restorable or requires root canal treatment followed by a crown. If the pain is due to gum, then deep cleaning of gums, followed by medication and gels to apply. If the tooth is not savable then removal of the tooth is advised. If the pain is due to an ulcer then ointment is given and further investigations are done. For pain control, you can take tab ketorolac dt 2 tablets, dissolve in half a cup of water, and have. But this tablet is subject to liver and kidney conditions. If you have any of those then don't take them.

View other drafts while I cannot provide medical diagnoses or advice, I can offer some information and suggest some steps you can take regarding your bedwetting episode and pain management: potential causes of bedwetting after 25 years: medication side effects: chlorzoxazone and diclofenac, both present in your pain medication, can have rare side effects of urinary frequency and incontinence. The combination with paracetamol might slightly increase the risk of these side effects. Underlying medical conditions: certain medical conditions like diabetes, urinary tract infections, or neurological issues can lead to sudden onset of bedwetting. Sleep disturbances: poor sleep quality or sleep apnea can sometimes contribute to bedwetting episodes. Psychological factors: stress, anxiety, or trauma can also trigger bedwetting in rare cases. Recommendations: discontinue the pain medication: while continuing with the prescribed dosage would be ideal, due to the possible side effect of bedwetting, it's important to consult your doctor immediately. They can assess the situation and decide on whether to adjust your medication or recommend alternative pain management options. Seek medical attention: discuss your bedwetting episode with your doctor as soon as possible. They can perform necessary tests like a urine test to rule out any underlying medical conditions and provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment if needed. Maintain hydration: ensure you stay hydrated throughout the day, but avoid excessive fluid intake before bedtime, as this can increase the risk of bedwetting. Practice good sleep hygiene: maintain a regular sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and address any potential sleep disturbances to improve sleep quality. Important disclaimer: remember, self-diagnosing or stopping prescribed medication without consulting your doctor can be dangerous. Please prioritize seeking medical attention for your bedwetting and follow your doctor's recommendations for pain management and any further actions. I hope this information helps you navigate this situation and encourages you to reach out to your doctor for guidance. Wishing you a swift resolution to both your pain and bedwetting concern.
