If your son is experiencing toothache due to a cavity, it's important to consult with a dentist for a proper evaluation and treatment. They can determine the best course of action based on the severity of the cavity and your son's specific needs.
For temporary relief from toothache, you can try giving your son over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, following the recommended dosage for his age and weight. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before giving any medication to your child to ensure it is appropriate and safe.
Keep in mind that pain medication provides temporary relief and does not treat the underlying cavity. It's important to address the cavity itself through dental treatment to prevent further complications and alleviate the pain in the long term.
Please reach out to a dentist or healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for your son's toothache. They can provide personalized advice based on his specific situation and help alleviate his discomfort.
