How To Get Rid Of The Pain In The Infected Tooth?

my son has chipped his front tooth a couple of days ago, went to dentist for xray, dentist said this tooth will become infection very soon. he is supposed to take a one hour flight. Will the change in pressure cause great pain to him if his tooth is infected?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The flight journey will not affect him much .

I would advice him to take a pain killer like ibuprofen ,if he has severe pain to avoid any inconvenience that may cause him during the flight.

Also he can continue with antibiotics that has been given by the dentist.

Get the root canal done once he is back from his journey as that will only reduce all the infection present in the tooth.

Hope this was of relevance.

Thanks and regards.
