I am an active hepatitis B carrier and recently had a root canal treatment on my wisdom tooth. I still have mild tooth pain. Which painkiller can I safely take that will not adversely affect my liver?
Paracetamol is usually the safest painkiller for people with liver problems when taken in low doses. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Avoid alcohol and other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, as they may increase the risk of liver damage. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your dentist or doctor for further assessment.
