My 6-year-old son has a severe toothache and I have already given him Combiflam; should I take him to the hospital or is there another medicine I can give him?

Since Combiflam already contains ibuprofen and paracetamol, please do not give him any other pain relievers to avoid an accidental overdose. You can help soothe him by applying a cool compress to his cheek. While a hospital emergency room isn't usually necessary for a toothache, you should take him immediately if you notice facial swelling, a high fever, or difficulty swallowing. Otherwise, the best next step is to schedule an urgent appointment with a pediatric dentist to safely treat the cause of the pain.
