Hello Hamidah,
Has your sister been to the dentist to find out the cause of this toothache? Toothache can be caused by various health conditions that are not treated the same for each of these conditions. Some of the causes of toothache:
inflammation of the gums, periodontitis, cracked teeth, cavities that cause inflammation of the inside of the teeth (pulpitis), abscesses, shrinkage, gum, sinusitis. Advise your sister to:
consuming paracetamol to relieve toothache while maintaining dental hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day gargling with warm water mixed with salt do cold compresses on the sore tooth area from outside the cheeks Avoid using any antibiotics without doctor's advice because the cause of your brother's toothache is not necessarily because infection. Antibiotics are only used to treat dental infections. Please advise your brother to immediately consult a dentist so that the doctor can carry out an examination of the tooth in question to determine the next appropriate treatment.
I hope this helps.
Dr. Aloisia
