Hello doctor,
I have a toothache. I bought 3 days of medicine to take. The first 2 days of taking it, the toothache was relieved, and on the third day, I had a severe stomachache all day, especially at night. After that, I bought some stomach medicine but it still didn't go away. I've had it for 5-6 days now. Doctor let me ask, stomach pain after taking toothache medicine is a sign of what disease?

Hello friend,
With the question "Stomach pain after taking toothache medicine is a sign of what disease?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After taking toothache medicine, stomach pain is likely. Some of the medications you take include NSAIDs. For severe stomach pain, there are only 2 possibilities: acute gastritis (pain within 5 days and then subsides) or deep ulcer to the serosa that is about to perforate. You have taken medicine for stomach pain for 5-6 days without any relief, you need to see a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about stomach pain, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
