Toothache has been a very difficult problem for little children or even adults. For many years, I have suffered severe toothache. It could sometimes lead me to my absence in the class when I was still in grade school. It has also caused me not to work properly.
And for that many years, I have discovered several techniques on how to ease the pain caused by toothache. Let me share them to you.
- Medicine. Mefenamic is a very good pain reliever for any body pains. Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat pain, including menstrual pain.
- Vinegar with salt. When you gargle 1 cup of vinegar with 1/4 tablespoon of salt, it would aid the pain of toothache.
- Perfume. No, it’s not a joke! Perfume is used not only to make you smell good but also to relieve the pain of toothache. Just spray it on your painful tooth and it should take away the pain in just 2-3 minutes. It would taste a bit odd though.
- Panyawan plant. Scientifically known as Tinospora rumphii. It is a clinging vine, and the name itself suggests the primary purpose of such plant. Makabuhay is a Filipino translation of the English term ‘pro-life or to give life’. It is commonly known as the paliahan in the Visayas region. The plant belongs to the family of Menispermaceae, and can grow, or rather climb, up to fifteen meters long. To use it, you must get its leaflet and squeeze its juice to your eyes or directly to your affected tooth.
