Is Taking Tylenol Safe For Tooth Ache And Gum Problem In Children?

My grandson is almost 9 years old and his molars are coming in. When he eats he almost crys as his gums hurt. Is this normal? I gave him some tylenol and it seemed to help. No fever he acts normal. Is there something else we can do for him with the pain?

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Analgesics will give temporary relief.
I would suggest you to take your child to an Dentist get the checkup done.
Toothache describes infection in the tooth that needs to be treated.
Also get complete mouth scaling done.


Take care!
