[QUOTE="Andy, post: 204619, member: 5096"] A cold?!!???? Not good, not good at all!!! You may not be able to go through with this tomorrow. Be very honest with your dentist about the level of the cold. Let him know. If you can not breathe through your nose, you can not go through with this. Vicks vapor rub helps - get a small container and sniff away! Usually opens air passages. Also, make sure that the pharmacy knows you need liquid Tylenol. I think Tylenol 3 is a liquid form but make sure it is. You should also see if the pharmacy can help get liquid Motrine since you can take that 1/2 way into a Tylenol dose. (Jr strength Motrine is 100 mg so you can double it for a 200 mg dose of adult strength (which I think you need 400 mg for a single dose?) if you are unable to get adult liquid Motrine) Be very careful with that Tylenol dose in the car. If that hits sooner than you expect - OMG you may have a bigger problem than you want to deal with. Is there anyway at all you can get someone to drive you? Also, for oral surgery, most people will not be allowed to leave the facility without a driver. The doctor's office doesn't want to take the liability of knowing their patient drove home in case there is a problem on the road. Some surgeries (even oral) you are not allowed to take medications (even over the counter) so long before the surgery. This is probably more for anethesia and not so much for novicane. However, if you are taking cold medications, let the dentist know before the surgery exactly what you have taken this weekend. Water - drink lots of water - that will help in healing. [/QUOTE]
