Common formulations of ibuprofen include tablets and capsules. Generally, whether taking two ibuprofen pills for toothache will cause any problems depends on the specific drug specifications, instructions for use, and the individual patient's condition. If discomfort occurs or symptoms do not improve after taking the medication, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the drug specification is common and falls within the usual single-dose recommendation, and if it is taken strictly according to the instructions without exceeding the maximum daily dosage or frequency, most healthy adults may not experience adverse reactions and may achieve some relief from toothache.

If the drug specification is unusual, or if the instructions were not carefully read before administration, resulting in a single dose exceeding the recommended range, or if there is pre-existing impaired liver or kidney function, gastrointestinal disease, or similar conditions, adverse effects such as nausea and stomach pain may occur after taking the medication, and the underlying condition could potentially worsen.

After taking the medication, closely monitor your physical condition. If any discomfort occurs, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical advice. Do not increase the dosage or frequency on your own. Always read the product label carefully before use to understand the appropriate population and contraindications. Patients with pre-existing medical conditions should consult a physician before taking the medication.
