Tooth ache/ abscess
My husband has an abscessed tooth, he is on antibiotics. Should be use any sort of compress (hot ot cold) for the pain?
Only a cold compress should be used.
A hot compress will draw the infection out, thus making the pain worse.
Painkillers that he would normally take for a headache are also ok to take.
Hope this helps
