Can you take pain killers when taking Anti-bio-tics such as Amoxicillin?
My friend has chronic ear ache and apparently he has broken his ear drum!!! He was prescribed Amoxicillin by his doctor, but told to avoid pain killers, however, he is in so much pain i wondered what the harm would be to take pain killers??? I had tooth ache couple of weeks ago and I was prescribed the same anti-biotics and a strong pain killer by my dentist called 'Dihydrocodeine', so I wondered why he has been advised not to take painkillers whilst on the anti-biotics and whether there was a pain-killer that he coud take to relief his discomfort plesae???
