Start by reducing oral swelling. If the child is old enough to swish and spit, have him rinse with a warm saltwater solution to reduce oral inflammation, advises the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). Mix a teaspoon of table salt into a small plastic cup of warm water. Then apply a cold compress to the outside of the child's cheek close to the sore area. Wrap a malleable gel-style compress in a soft towel, and help the child hold it in place to reduce pressure and swelling inside the mouth.
Next, give the child an oral anti-inflammatory medication appropriate for his age. Try administering a liquid version of the medication; a chewable pill may be difficult for the child to take. Clove oil also works as a topical analgesic and antibacterial to provide toothache pain relief. Apply the oil using a cotton swab. Gently dab it on the affected area around the tooth. Alternatively, visit a 24-hour pharmacy and choose a child-safe over-the-counter oral medication containing clove oil as an active ingredient.
