For a toothache, skip the acetaminophen. It won't do anything for you or your infant. Motrin (ibuprofen) will work. Use the specified dosing level every specified interval. Skip it, and the pain will return full-force right about the time the next dose should have been kicking in.
I don't know why, but between my bad teeth and my teething babies, I've found out the hard way: Tylenol does NOTHING for toothache.
I always was told a good brandy works wonders for tooth pain.
