What should I do if my child has toothache?

All aspects of a child's body are in a rapid growth process. If you don't pay attention to some small details in your daily life, the child may have some problems. For example, if a child has toothache, there are many reasons for toothache, such as eating foods that are not good for teeth, such as sugar. And brushing your teeth is also very important. You should brush your teeth in the morning and evening. It is best to control the brushing time to more than three minutes, otherwise it is equivalent to not brushing.

1. When a child has a toothache, use a toothpick to clean out the food residues remaining in the child's teeth, and then use a children's soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush the affected teeth and the area around the affected teeth.

2. If your child's cheeks are swollen due to toothache, quickly apply a towel dipped in cold water or an ice pack to the baby's cheeks. This can relieve swelling.

3. You can also use a simple home pain relief method, prepare ginger in time, cut a small piece of ginger, and then let the child bite it on the painful area, this can relieve the pain and can be reused when necessary.

4. You can also give your child some over-the-counter painkillers to help relieve the pain. If the pain is severe, take your child to a dentist for treatment immediately.

5. Hand massage: This method can relieve 50% of the pain. Rub a piece of ice on the "V" area between the thumb and index finger bones, and gently press the ice on this area for 5-7 minutes. A Canadian researcher found that 60-90% of people who used this method experienced relief from toothache. His research showed that this friction method can interfere with the transmission of toothache nerve impulses.

6. Massage the Hegu point with ice for 5 minutes.
