Is it safe to give my son metrogyl and paracetamol for three days to treat his tooth pain, given that he has already had two teeth removed because of cavities?
It is safe to give him paracetamol to help ease his toothache, but please make sure to use the correct pediatric dose based on his weight. However, Metrogyl (metronidazole) is an antibiotic and should only be given if specifically prescribed by his doctor or dentist. Antibiotics will not relieve pain directly and are only for active infections. Since he has a history of cavities, the best step is to have a dentist examine him promptly to find the root cause of his pain and safely treat it.
