Nurofen - can get a kids one

Ibuprofen reduces swelling, which helps, unless it is an abscess n which case you will need antbiotics.

Ibuprofen or Paracetamol suspension is useful to control symptoms but you need a visit to your dentist to discover the source of the pain

my kids take advil or motrin and say it helps them

Calpol (paracetomol) or liquid nurofen (ibuprofen) and then take them to the dentist!

Clove oil is one of the best remedies for toothache.You should dip a small ball of cotton in clove oil and place it near the child's affected tooth. The pain will subside for some time. But children should not use large quantities of clove oil as it could be harmful to their health. Information on some other home remedies for toothache can be found at http://aches.in/toothacheremedies.html.

Any one of the following should help relieve the pain:

Calpol (liquid paracetamol)
Half to one 500mg tablet of paractamol
Nurofen for children

The following may also help soothe and reduce pain:

Bonjela
Oil of cloves

Best bet is to make an appointment with your dentist to get it checked out - you don't want it to turn into anything more serious.

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
