Yes, you can. Paracetamol is one of the safest painkillers, and rarely causes side effects. It is safe to use paracetamol at the same time as taking antibiotics. Taking the two medicines at the same time should not cause any problems. However, you must make sure that you carefully follow the dosage instructions provided by the manufacturer for both your antibiotics and the paracetamol. If you're still in significant pain after taking paracetamol, contact your GP. The only antibiotic which is an exception to this rule is isoniazid. This antibiotic is used to treat tuberculosis (an infection which primarily affects the lungs). A small number of reports suggest that taking this antibiotic with paracetamol may increase the risk of liver damage. You should always consult your GP before taking paracetamol with this antibiotic. Children should never be given paracetamol whilst being treated with isoniazid. Children who are under 16 years of age should not take aspirin.

Yes, and you should. Assuming that the dentist prescribed the Amoxicillin, this is the antibiotic part of what he/she wants you to take, it will help cure the infection but it will do nothing for the pain. The paracetamol (commonly called Tylenol in the US) is the pain control portion of the equasion. Often Tylenol is paired up with a narcotic like hydrocodone, or codeine like in Vicodin and Tylenol #3 which should give you more relief then with Tylenol alone. If you have a toothache notice the antibiotics will only give you some relief, the only true relief you will get is if you get treatment.

Yes, you can. Penicllin is an antibiotic while paracetamol is a painkiller. They can both be taken at the same time.

Yes. Doxy is an antibiotic. If you are looking for fever reduction there are better otc medications than ibuprofin unless you have some reason you can not take a drug such as ace.
