my six year old has an infected tooth and is currently taking amoxicillian for it until the dentists call me back with an appointment because i cant find one that doesnt have a long waiting list. we are talking a month before he gets seen. i need to know some home remedies for a toothache if anyone has any. i have tried the following:
anbesol
orajel
ice
heat
tylenol
motrin
keeping his head elevated
clove oil
and many more things and they arent really working to well. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know im desperate. he is disabled and not taking this well. if you do not have any non rude or serious comments please do not respond

You may need to try aleve or get a proscription pain reliever.
Make sure you dont use oragel that would hurt it more.

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

When you brush his teeth try to stay away from the infected tooth. Have you tryed Baby Orajel? It really helps and is EXTRA gentle. Have him swish (cold) water around in his mouth. This helps the make it feel nice and cool. Best of luck!

try rubbing a childs aspirin directly on the gum around the tooth. trust me, it's safe, and more effective than ingestion. infection is serious stuff. be careful his symptoms don't escalate into other problems. good luck.
