A member asked:

My 7 year old is in great pain due to her molar coming out. what other pain medication should i give her, she hasn't slept in two nights. please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ibuprophen/heat: I find the combination of ibuprophen and heat can offer some releaf to these kids.The ibuprophen has longer action than the acetomenophen and an anti-inflamatory benefit. A heating pad at low heat or warm compress sometimes distracts the brains pain sensors as it processes the sensation of warmth.
