Can I go to the hospital if I have toothache during the epidemic?

The dental department is basically closed now, and patients dare not go out. When the epidemic is over, go to the doctor immediately.

Painkillers can only temporarily relieve pain, but you can also slowly take ibuprofen/fenbid, etc. If there are symptoms of inflammation, you can take amoxicillin capsules and metronidazole tablets for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Be careful not to eat spicy food during toothache and maintain oral hygiene.

What to do if you have toothache during the epidemic

If a tooth has rotted away, or even rotted away to the point where only the root remains, bacteria have already drilled into the root through the rotten gap and accumulated strength, making it impossible to touch, knock or bite. This pain is triggered by nothing to do with heat or cold and is probably acute apical periodontitis. You can first use painkillers to relieve pain and antibiotics to reduce inflammation, and then go to a dental hospital for treatment after the special period.
