Patients in Group 1 were prescribed Paracetamol 325 mg as pain control medication whereas patients in Group 2 were prescribed Lysine as pain control medication. After 24 hours, other investigator has evaluated the analgesic efficacy of the drug by the 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) were zero means no pain and 10 unbearable pain. Results: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. 28 were male and 22 were female. The age ranged from 19-67 years with mean age 32.47 years.
