Question : 2My son has a bad tooth ache but cannot get to a dentist right now.. I saw oil of cloves is very good.
Brief Answer:
You may want to try it should you have access to!
Detailed Answer:
Hi thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this toothache that your son has. I know how terrible the pain of a toothache can be. I very much hope that you get to lay hands on something that helps before he gets to see a dentist as soon as possible.
Oil of cloves does helps. It has been reported to offer significant relief in clients with toothache. I will not deny you trying this is you have it at your disposal. It can be difficult to get powerful pain medications right now without a prescription but a trial of Tylenol and ibuprofen would definitely do him some additional pain relief before he finally makes it to the hospital to see a dentist.
In all, cloves oil has been shown to help with toothache. Adding a combination of Ibuprofen and Tylenol would be a great addition with guaranteed pain relieving effects. Plan and get consulted as soon as possible for the exact cause to be identified and managed appropriately.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
