is it ok

To take 4 extra strength tylenol every 4 hours? I've been in horrible pain for few days now, from a toothache, and my baby doc prescribed me amoxicillin 250mg every 8 hours, and today I started taking 2 of them like every 7 hours, cuz its not working. I'm gonna call dentist in morning. Do y'all think I'm taking to much?

My aunts a nurse and she told me 200 mg per every 50 lbs body weight is an appropriate dosage for OTC things like Tylenol.
However, do not over dose the antibiotics. They take time to work and your not helping by taking extra. Also, talk to your doctor about the extra strength Tylenol cause my doctor told me only regular Tylenol during pregnancy.

Way too much. If extra strength aren't working ask for t3s. If you take too much extra strength Tylenol it can hurt baby and mess up your liver.

No way!  That's way too much! Even not pregnant you should only take up to 3000mg in a 24 hour period. And stop over taking the antibiotics that is not going to help you. Antibiotics take time to work, taking more than prescribed isn't going to make them work faster.
