[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 476560"] You are not wrong. No way no how should anyone be taking an opiate for a sinus infection. I too get bad -often recurring- sinus infections and doctor always treats the pain with OTC medications. Usually mucinex plus sudafed plus Motrin -adding Tylenol if it's really acute pain. Motrin usually works aok for me alone. The mucinex keeps things moving, sudafed relieves the sinus pressure and Motrin treats the residual pain. Plus an antibiotic to treat the infection. Interestingly enough, difficult child had a root canal last January. For whatever reason, he was not numb enough-felt the whole thing and never told the endo. When we brought him home, he was literally shaking and clammy and I was afraid going into shock from the pain. I took him back immediately & the endo wanted to give him vicodin and difficult child refused and said "no narcotics" so the endo re numbed the area to take the immediate edge off. Then, we were able to manage the pain with the Motrin Tylenol combo. I would be afraid she could be dr shopping and I would let the pharmacy and her doctors know that she has a narcotic issue. They have a legal duty not to rx narcotics to abusers. I am so sorry that it's another worry to add to the list. {hugs} [/QUOTE]
