What medicine should I take for gum pain

In life, we often encounter some gum pain. It's just a slight pain and we can bear it and it will pass. But if the pain is persistent, we can take some painkillers to relieve it. However, when using medication to treat gum pain, you must use the right medicine for the right condition, otherwise the medicine will not work and the gums will still hurt. So, how do we treat gum pain depending on the cause?

There are generally two symptoms of swollen and painful gums. One is acute gingivitis caused by upper respiratory tract infection (cold or inflammation), which is usually accompanied by sore throat, thick yellow tongue coating, and dry and bitter mouth. The other is that one has tooth decay, which causes acute pulpitis and acute gingivitis.

The above two conditions are what Chinese medicine often calls "wind-fire toothache". You can judge whether you are one of the above based on the symptoms. If you have tooth decay, there is a high possibility that you belong to the second type.

Painkillers and antibiotics are generally not very effective for this type of wind-fire toothache, because it is difficult for the medicinal power to reach the gums through digestion and transformation. Therefore, Western medicine is not very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain for this type of complex toothache. A more effective method is to use tooth gold lozenges externally, which can directly reduce inflammation and relieve pain on the tooth roots and gums through oral administration; at the same time, take Niuhuang Jiedu tablets internally (the dosage should be increased depending on individual conditions and symptoms, and you can follow the doctor's advice). The effect of Niuhuang Jiedu tablets is to eliminate the source of upper respiratory tract infection by "purging fire", and stop taking it if diarrhea occurs. It works very well for toothache caused by wind and fire. It can usually reduce swelling and relieve pain in 3 days without any side effects. Persistent use of tooth gold for maintenance for a period of time can also effectively regulate oral acidity, fundamentally preventing the continued deterioration of tooth decay or the occurrence of new tooth decay.

You might as well try this method. In addition, for the causes of swollen and painful gums mentioned above, it is recommended that you pay attention to your diet and avoid eating too much food that is easy to cause getting angry (such as puffed food, fried spicy food); the hot summer, poor sleep, and frequent opportunities to enter and exit air-conditioned rooms are all high-risk factors for upper respiratory tract infections. At this time, you should pay attention to timely self-adjustment of clothing and pay attention to work and rest rules to prevent upper respiratory tract infections.
