Can you get addicted to Advil?
I have a cavity and my mouth hurts really bad so I took two Davila yesterday and today for the pain. Can you get addicted to Advil?

It is possible, but in your situation I would not expect that you have developed an addiction. Advil is just ibuprofen, which is difficult to get addicted to. It takes some serious work, and a lot of usage. It is more likely that over-usage would result in an immunity to ibuprofen or, more seriously, organ damage (specifically liver). But you only had two yesterday and two today. That is well within the recommended dosage. If you are worried, alternate between Advil and Tylenol to avoid damage. If the pain is severe, take Advil, wait for at least 4 hours, and take Tylenol, then keep that cycle. And get to the dentist soon!
