With the development of caries or a number of other dental diseases, the patient begins to suffer severe pain, which is difficult to relieve with the help of ordinary rinses with soda or salt. For some reasons, patients cannot get an appointment with a dentist right away, so it is important to take a good pain reliever right away. Since it is not always possible to take pills due to contraindications, you can use ointments to relieve pain in your teeth. Listed below are the most effective and truly helpful products in this category. But no matter how well they help the patient, it is necessary to visit the doctor's office as soon as possible.

A baby’s first teeth are always a great joy for parents, but often this is accompanied by a deterioration in the child’s well-being, fever, moodiness and bad mood. Only 30% of young children do not have any negative symptoms when teething. In pharmacies you can buy various drugs to improve the condition of a child during teething: both drugs for oral administration and for external use. Today we’ll talk about gels for gums.
Many parents buy such products on the advice of friends or based on reviews from moms on forums. But it is better to consult a pediatrician before purchasing a painkiller, because only a doctor can take into account all the individual characteristics of your baby’s body and choose a truly effective and safe remedy.

Symptoms of teething in children
Typically, when teething, the following symptoms are observed:
- excessive salivation, which can cause the baby to cough, possible hoarseness, a rash around the mouth and on the chin;
- soreness and swelling of the gums;
- itching of the gums (the child puts various objects in his mouth to “scratch” the gums);
- deterioration of appetite or its complete absence;
- increased body temperature;
- sleep problems;
- increased excitability, tearfulness;
- runny nose;
- stool disorder.
It is important to note that not all children have all the symptoms on this list. These may be several symptoms of teething, or even none at all. Everything is very individual.
How children cut teeth
Nise for the treatment of carious teeth and gums
Nise gel quickly relieves swelling, reduces pressure on the diseased area, and provokes the regeneration of all tissues
Anti-inflammatory ointment of a non-hormonal nature, which quickly relieves swelling, reduces pressure on the diseased area, and provokes the regeneration of all tissues. To eliminate pain, you need to squeeze out no more than 1 g of ointment onto a small piece of sterile material; this is the size of a small pea. Having slightly distributed the active substance throughout the compress, it is applied to the sore spot. For a better effect, you can capture a few adjacent areas, especially with spreading swelling due to severe pain or purulent inflammation. Such applications can also be done 1-2 times a day for 3-4 days. The duration of the procedure is approximately 10-20 minutes.
Attention! Like most ointments for topical use, Nise does not involve applying it to the sore tooth. If possible, the drug should be replaced with tablets or powder with the same name or an analogue. They have a faster effect, and only in rare cases provoke allergies or intestinal disorders.

Kamistad Baby
This German gel contains two main components: chamomile (disinfects, soothes and relieves inflammation) and polidocanol (a local anesthetic that is as safe as possible for the child’s body). “Kamistad Baby” has a sweetish-honey taste, so the baby will definitely not spit it out. The product is packaged in a convenient tube with a thin dispenser spout, so the gel is easy to apply to children's gums. Literally immediately after application, the drug begins to work, relieving pain, and the effect lasts for several hours. In addition to teething in babies, Kamistad Baby is prescribed for stomatitis and gingivitis in adults, for healing erosions in the oral cavity, after surgical procedures.

Argosulfan against toothache
Argosulfan is antibacterial, so it has a fairly powerful effect
This drug is also antibacterial, therefore it has a rather powerful effect not only on the diseased tooth and gum itself, but also on the entire body. It should be used only in exceptional cases when nothing else is simply at hand. The ointment must be used in the form of an application. To do this, squeeze out 0.5-1 cm of ointment onto a sterile swab, which is applied to the sore spot for 10-20 minutes. Such compresses can be used only twice a day for 3-4 days. Do not use to treat children and elderly patients over 65 years of age.
Attention! Since this ointment is a fairly strong antibiotic that can be used to heal bedsores and ulcers on the body, you should not thoughtlessly apply it to your teeth. It is intended exclusively for local use and, if ingested, can cause poisoning and problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Dentinale
This teething gel helps babies get through the difficult period easier. Dentinale contains only safe ingredients, no chemical painkillers. The drug contains chamomile extract, aloe vera juice and boswellia. Dentinale reduces gum sensitivity, relieves inflammation and provides excellent pain relief. After applying the gel, a protective film is formed on the gums, so the child calms down and falls asleep. The drug can be applied many times, and the effect lasts for several hours. Dentinale does not contain sugar, parabens, or lidocaine. The gel has a sweetish, pleasant taste that your baby will definitely like. Dentinale can be used even by children prone to allergies.
Holisal
This Polish gel has a wide range of dental indications. It is suitable for both adults and children. You can use "Cholisal" when teething in babies from 6 months of age. The active ingredient of the drug is choline salicylate. The product has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, soothing and analgesic effects. “Cholisal” instantly relieves gum irritation and also reduces their bleeding (which is important for various oral problems in adults). The drug is sold in a convenient small tube; it should be used with caution in children under one year of age. The downside is the high cost.

Traumeel S against discomfort
Traumeel C gel
The medication is mostly used to suppress pain due to bumps, sprains and bruises. But, if there is no other remedy at hand, Traumeel can be used to relieve discomfort due to diseased teeth, but only for a short time. To do this, apply 1 cm of gel using a bandage or directly onto the sore gum and tooth and gently rub it into the affected area. The ointment may sting slightly for a while, but the discomfort should not be significant. If it lasts more than 5-7 minutes, it is better to rinse your mouth to prevent the development of an allergic reaction in the form of swelling of the oral mucosa or larynx. You should not apply the ointment more than twice during the day. Treatment should not be continued for more than 3 days. If an application is used, it must be kept on the affected area for no more than 20 minutes.
Attention! Traumeel is classified as a homeopathic medicine, which allows it to be used by virtually all patients. But since it is designed to suppress other types of pain and is not intended for application to mucous membranes, the ointment should not be used to treat patients with hypersensitivity, children and elderly patients over 65 years of age.

THORACIC RADILE SYNDROME (RADICULOPATHY)
A common neurological syndrome that occurs due to compression (compression) of the spinal nerve roots at the level of the thoracic spine.
This syndrome is usually observed with spinal osteochondrosis, spina bifida, spinal compression fracture, spondyloarthrosis and other spinal lesions. Thoracic radicular syndrome is usually manifested by pain in the back, girdle pain in the chest, and sometimes there are sensations of characteristic pain in the heart or stomach (such pain does not decrease after the use of cardiac drugs and antacids, but disappears only after treatment of the radicular syndrome). The pain intensifies with movement and lifting heavy objects. In the area of innervation of the affected nerve, sensitivity and muscle function (hypo- and atrophy), as well as the functioning of the abdominal organs, may be impaired.

Analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used to relieve pain.
SPAZMALIN® is able to relieve pain during menstruation. The components of the drug help to quickly cope with pain.
Directions for use and doses
