Hepar sulphur (homeopathic medicine) is not recommended for dental pain in children and will not treat the cavity.
For a 3-year-old with painful tooth decay:
• Give paracetamol in correct pediatric dose for pain relief
• Avoid sweets and cold foods
• Do not apply any medicine directly on the tooth
Please visit a pediatric dentist as soon as possible. The tooth may need filling or other treatment. Dental pain due to cavities will not resolve without proper dental care.

Hello,
I am a Pediatric dentist. If your child is having pain because of the cavity, it means infection has gone deep to the vital tissues and requires definitive treatment.
Dental infections like decay can't be treated by medicines, they can only mask the symptoms temporarily.
Next Steps
please visit a pediatric dentist nearby and seek proper treatment
Health Tips
delaying treatment will only worsen the treatment.
Avoid hard/chewy/hot food

I understand your concern. Hepar sulphur 200 is a homeopathic medicine and it is not recommended to give such high-potency remedies to a 3-year-old child without proper medical supervision. There is no scientific evidence that it can cure dental cavities or reliably relieve severe tooth pain.
If your child is having significant pain, it usually means the cavity has progressed and needs dental treatment, not just medicine.
Next Steps
Take your child to a pediatric dentist as soon as possible
The dentist may suggest fluoride application, filling, or other treatment
Maintain good oral hygiene with supervised brushing using a smear of fluoride toothpaste
Avoid sugary foods and night-time feeding if still ongoing
Health Tips
Home remedies or homeopathic medicines cannot treat cavities
Delaying dental treatment can lead to infection, swelling, fever, or abscess
Early treatment helps save the tooth and reduces pain quickly
