What to do if a six-year-old child has toothache

A six-year-old child can already speak clearly and express his or her ideas. When they encounter problems or feel unwell, they can talk directly to their parents. Compared with children's colds, toothache is a painful thing because it prevents children from eating and going to school, and parents are also worried about long-term pain. So what should you do if a six-year-old child has toothache?

Toothache is a common disease. Some toothaches are caused by tooth lesions themselves, while some tooth lesions are caused by other diseases. Generally speaking, when young children have toothache, it is mainly caused by two reasons.

Dental trauma:

It is common for children to accidentally fall and injure their teeth. Sometimes they bite on gravel or bones while eating, causing traumatic apical periodontitis and pain. If the tooth is only a little loose, you just need to take some anti-inflammatory drugs, eat soft food for a few days and let the affected tooth rest for a week. If the tooth is broken, you need to ask the doctor to extract the exposed dental nerve under anesthesia and then fill the tooth.

Internal injuries of teeth:

There are many reasons for this pain, but most of them are due to bad living habits, eating too cold, too hot, too sweet or too sour food, or not paying attention to teeth cleaning on a daily basis, or discomfort in other parts of the body that induces toothache. In this case, simply seeing a doctor cannot relieve the pain in time, so we need to use some tips to relieve the child's pain. If we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we also need to pay attention to conditioning and healthy living in our daily lives.

Cut a small piece of ginger and bite it on the painful area. You can reuse it when necessary, and it is also okay to hold it in your mouth while sleeping. Ginger can warm the meridians and dispel cold, relieve pain and relieve itching, and is effective in treating neuralgia caused by excessive cold and heat.

Put a few peppercorns on the painful area. The working principle is basically similar to that of ginger, but the effect of peppercorns is better. It is also easy to obtain the required raw materials in daily life.

Take 10 grams of black pepper, grind it into powder, add white wine to make it into a paste, and apply it to the painful area of ​​the tooth. These three methods can not only relieve pain, but also accelerate blood circulation, promote recovery from injuries, and help children recover as soon as possible.

Dissolve MSG in warm water at a concentration of 1:50, hold the solution in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. Do this several times in a row, and after two days the toothache will improve.

Take 100 grams of ordinary white wine and put it in a teacup, add 10 grams of salt; stir, and after the salt is dissolved, put it on the stove and boil it. Hold a mouthful of it in the painful area, be careful not to swallow it, and the toothache will be relieved immediately. These two methods can only relieve pain and do not speed up recovery.

Toothache is very uncomfortable and even adults can hardly bear it, let alone children. We should not only treat it, but more importantly, pay attention to prevention in our daily lives.

The best ways to protect children's health are to maintain a regular schedule, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, avoid eating too cold or too hot food, and get more exercise.
