Is it safe to take prescribed painkillers, such as Calpol T (tramadol/paracetamol), more frequently than every four hours for severe pain associated with a failed root canal treatment?
Do not take your Calpol T (tramadol/paracetamol) more frequently than every four hours. Taking it too close together can lead to a dangerous overdose, especially from the paracetamol component, which can seriously harm your liver. Please stick strictly to the prescribed interval. Since your pain remains severe, I highly recommend contacting your dentist or doctor immediately. They can safely adjust your treatment or prescribe a different medication to help ease your discomfort safely.
