Out of desperation , I searched some ways for remedy of toothache. I was amazed that I don't need to go out at this wee hour of the morning to buy that yellow pill called pain killer, but the remedy for this pain is actually in our cupboard.
Here are some tips that I have discovered.
- Garlic. Crushed the garlic, and mixed with rock salt,put it on the affected area. "Garlic contains a powerful compound called allicin, which exercises a powerful antibiotic effect. This compound is released upon crushing the garlic and it is believed that this could help slow down any bacterial activity. It should be stressed that this is not a cure however as garlic alone will not be able to halt or reverse dental decay or prevent further deterioration. In fact, all toothache remedies are meant to provide relief and are only temporary solutions that can not substitute medical treatment. Exercise caution when using garlic as it is quite strong and cause skin irritation" (www.home-remedies-for-you.com)
- Onions. Masticating few slices of onions for two to three minutes every morning helps clean the mouth and at the same time lessen the pain.Onions are popular as traditional toothache relief treatment and you can simply place a slice over the affected area. Onions are high in sodium, rich in vitamins E and B12, and are low in fat or calories. Including onions in your daily diet and simply chewing on a few slices can help prevent and control toothaches.
To be honest I did not follow these instructions because I was too lazy to go down and actually do these things, but what I did was do the good old-fashioned way---ice compress.
After ten minutes, viola..it slowly fades away, but take note, SLOWLY! Nevertheless, I am still grateful, because the pain is manageable and I stopped crying! boo-hoo!=(
