Toothache is perhaps one of the most annoying. Fear of the dentistās office sometimes haunts many since childhood and itās very difficult to overcome it even in adulthood. But sometimes there are hopeless situations that make you turn to a specialist. Flux - only a professional knows what to do in this case, but itās better not to compete with this problem yourself, so as not to harm it.
Flux is a product of purulent inflammation that spreads to the root of the teeth and can lead to serious consequences. The focus of inflammation is overwhelmed by microbes, inflammation of the jaw bone begins, resulting in a fistula, in the best case, it breaks out. In many cases, pus accumulates in the periosteum, while it can capture the soft tissues of the face and even the neck. Complications can only be resolved by surgery.
If you have a flux, what to do and how to treat it can be decided only after determining the cause of its appearance. One of the causes of flux can be caries, pain when eating solid foods, and inflammation. It is presumptuous to believe that everything will pass - a big mistake, since nothing passes without a trace. While you expect a miracle, the process of piling up pus accelerates and becomes irreversible.
Feeling unwell, sleep disturbances, high fever and loss of appetite are only the first problems with the disease. If a flux breaks through, what to do then, is it very serious? Do not be afraid to contact a specialist. Since the pus that has come out may play a cruel joke. The problem can become chronic, the muscles of the face can be damaged over time, and the ingestion of pus in the blood can lead to sepsis (blood poisoning).
If the flux has already developed, and there is no possibility to visit a doctor, then some measures should be taken to alleviate the suffering. For starters, you can take an analgesic. You can also rinse your mouth with warm solutions (for example, water with soda or salt). Applying warming compresses to the inflamed area is strictly contraindicated, since pus can begin to spread.
Among folk remedies, decoctions of herbs for rinsing are isolated.
Flux - what to do to make the pain subside a little? The answer was always known by traditional healers. For example, you can rinse your mouth every two hours with a warm decoction of oak bark, nettle leaves and calamus rhizome (10 grams each), as well as 8 grams of sage, all this is poured with one liter of water and infused for an hour. After which the broth must be filtered and can be used. You can also make a tincture of calendula inflorescences at the rate of one tablespoon per liter of water.
What to do with flux, if an acute form has developed, traditional medicine also knows. During the day, it is necessary to chew propolis, gradually swallowing it. Take about twenty grams per day, gradually reducing the amount.
You can also make an infusion of St. John's wort (four tablespoons), sage (three tablespoons) and oak bark (two tablespoons). Grind and mix it all, pour three tablespoons of the mixture with a liter of boiling water and let it brew. Rinse ten times throughout the day.
And if a tooth aches, a dentist knows what to do. You should not look for a method of treatment in the advice of relatives. Perhaps a serious problem is developing, and postponing a visit to a specialist will only worsen well-being.
Toothache can bring a lot of trouble. Of course, treatment is not the cheapest, but do not forget that it is your health. Whether it is caries or flux, the doctor knows what to do with them better, and advice is certainly a good thing, but it is not always a panacea. Spent time visiting a dentist will not harm you. And even vice versa can save from more serious consequences. Appreciate your health.
