Self-medication: what to do and what not to do

If the pain is too severe and none of the natural remedies can relieve you, and you do not have the opportunity to consult a dentist immediately, you can opt for self-medication. Obviously, it goes without saying that it is imperative to read the instructions beforehand, but if you want to save yourself this reading, the list is reduced to three medications, ibuprofen, paracetamol and aspirin. But keep in mind that these are temporary solutions to alleviate the pain and not to cure it, so do not be unreasonable in the dosage. A mouthwash can also be effective, since it will also disinfect. Whatever happens, ask your pharmacist for advice so that he can direct you towards the best solution to relieve you.

Natural solutions for babies and adults

One of the simplest solutions is ice. Requiring just ice cubes and a cloth to wrap them in, you can place them directly in your mouth on the source of the pain, or outside on the cheek. Apply for 15 minutes, the anesthetic effect of the cold will relieve you, and start again when the pain resurfaces. Less conventional, you can also use cloves if your palate is not too sensitive. Place them on the pain site at the gum level for about 30 minutes, they will soften to release a virtuous oil that will relieve you. In the case of a baby whose teething is causing him pain and making you suffer at night too, you can use the same solutions. But the most effective remains to make him chew on something. If you are a fan of the D system, a clean and wet washcloth will do the trick to relieve his gums. You can also make him chew cold foods.
