What to do if you have a toothache due to a cold

Cold is a relatively common symptom. For cold patients, there are not only symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, runny nose, etc., but if the inflammation is severe, it may even cause toothache. This problem will cause great pain to the patient, so the patient needs to actively receive treatment. So, how to deal with toothache caused by cold and heat? Below we will introduce the relevant knowledge in detail!

1. Why does a cold cause toothache?

Colds are very common in daily life. Once you catch a cold, your body will experience various discomforts. Toothache as a symptom of a cold is also very common. As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it can be very painful. Therefore, toothache is really painful and seriously affects our quality of life. Generally speaking, toothache caused by cold is usually due to inflammation of the gums caused by heat, and the gums are infected by bacteria, so there is pain.

2. How to treat toothache caused by cold

1First of all, since the toothache is caused by a cold, we must take cold medicine to fundamentally relieve the symptoms of toothache. If it is just a mild toothache, we can take compound acetaminophen capsules and amoxicillin. Compound acetaminophen capsules are mainly used to relieve cold symptoms, while amoxicillin mainly has an anti-inflammatory effect.

2 However, if the toothache caused by a cold is particularly obvious, then it may be recommended to take some artificial bezoar metronidazole capsules. Because the toothache is particularly severe, it means that the degree of inflammation is also quite severe. The indications of artificial bezoar metronidazole are for acute pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, local alveolar abscess, pulpitis, etc. This medicine is very effective in treating toothache.

3. Toothache caused by colds should not only be relieved by medication, but regular diet is also particularly important. We should avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods and try to eat lighter meals. Another thing is to choose to eat cool foods, such as pears, mung beans, etc., to achieve the purpose of reducing heat and prevent the inflammation from getting worse.

3. Notes

We should drink more hot water when we have a cold, especially when we have a toothache, we should drink more water. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, try to keep a happy mood, and don't get anxious and angry. Also, you should exercise moderately and sweat more. As long as the cold is cured, the toothache symptoms will also disappear.
