What is a safe amount of ibuprofen to take for pain relief.

Hi,
I've had tooth pain for about 4 days. It ranges from mild to severe. Feels like something with the nerve. Is it safe to take 3 ibuprofen and 1 Tylenol at the same time. It's about a week until I can see a dentist. My coworker suggested I take 3 ibuprofen and 1 Tylenol... she said she had done the same thing for months when she had tooth pain.

Thanks for your help

It is best to take one or the other at one time. Or alternate every 6 hours. Pain means infection so go soon!
