Ibuprofen?

[Mawsky]

Hi, I had a root canal done over a two day period, now my eyes are terrible dry, the question I have is could the anethetic or the ibuprofen I've taken since caused this? Hope it gets better soon tho. I was careful to drop often during the proceedure.

Both could definitely contribute to dryness. When my husband had root canal done he complained of the overall dryness he was experiencing from the two medications. . . Drink tons of fluids to replenish.

Thanks, I will increase my fluids, funny how we don't always think to, also maybe my fish and flax oils. I'm feeling a bit better today, just waiting for this tooth to calm down
