Hello,

Pain after braces is commonly seen and Mephenic acid 250 mg is fine but in case if pain is not relieved with it, she can take painkillers like Ketorolac, Tramadol et cetera after consulting an Emergency room as these are prescription medicines.

Also, I would like to tell you that if the pain is not tolerable consult her Orthodontist and get checked.

At times the pressure needs to be slightly released from the braces to reduce pain and then gradually the pressure can be increased overtime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
