Is Tylenol OK for Headache?

Hi - I'm new here, I'm still in panic mode. My tinnitus started this week after tobramycin eye drops - I know, hard to believe. Now I'm afraid to take anything but I've had a bad headache for 2 days and I'd like to relieve it.

I'm trying to get out and around and habituated (omg so hard) I don't want to make anything worse.

I would only take one Tylenol but I'm afraid that if it increases the tinnitus I will freak out more, as it's only been a few days. This is all very new and very scary.

Any advice will help. Thank you!!

 

I had taken Tylenol many times, and I was fine.

It is not on

Thanks. Im glad it does not effect you in a bad way. It was added to lists as of 2015 or 16 but i know some people can take it (and even advil) and some cannot. I appreciate your reply!

 

Over the past 20 years, only 504 people reported getting tinnitus after taking Tylenol to the FDA. It is not a lot, given how many people actually take Tylenol.

I take acetaminophen and ibuprofen sporadically (and at OTC dosages) and haven't noticed any ill effect.

 

Thank you both very much. In the beginning here its like you are afraid to do anything that might make it worse. Much appreciated.

 

Indeed. I had the same reaction at onset. I wasn't living anymore. I had taken all the joys out of life for fear it would make my T worse.
Good luck!

 

I also was afraid to take anything, but I always took Tylenol for sinus problems and now I use Tylenol pm for sleep due to tinnitus on a regular basis, it has not interfered with my tinnitus. It works well for me.
