Yes you can give taxim 100mg twice a day. If you don’t want to get root canal ..then get extracted . Because it’s primary tooth and the permanent tooth will come around 11 years of age.

Yes surely go ahead with Taxim 100mg twice daily.
But this will only temporarily relieve the symptoms. So the final treatment will the Root Canal treatment with respective tooth and crown placement
