Remember children in pain should only be treated with acetaminophen if you're buying peppermint and place some on a paper towel, have your child hold the mash to the affected area to heal the pain.
* If the pain is so bad your child refuses to open their mouth, which is a obviously a sign to get to the doctor, hold a warm washcloth to your child's cheek where the pain is to comfort them...as you drive to the dentist.
