Painkiller that have to be taken with or after food must be taken that way, they can cause stomach problems otherwise. Does your Doctor not do telephone appointments where you can sppeak to the Doctor yourself, explain the problem,that you've been to the Dentist and need some strong painkillers to tide you over.

Receptionists can be a pain but sometimes asking to speak to a Doctor on the phone makes them act quicker for you.
All you want really is a prescription for some painkiller and also if you can stand it ice cream is like food too, you can have that and take painkillers.
