Few people know what the medical term periostitis means. But on the other hand, many are personally familiar with such a phenomenon as flux. So, periostitis and flux are one and the same thing, and despite the name of this disease, it did not bring any pleasant sensations to any person who experienced it. And as soon as the excruciating pain from flux begins to cause discomfort to a person, such a question immediately arises in his head, how to get rid of flux?
In general, there are a lot of recipes among the people that have been passed down from generation to generation and were aimed precisely at removing the pain that occurs with this disease. But the only thing that can be said with confidence is that you cannot do without the help of specialists in this matter, and you can use folk remedies only to muffle or temporarily remove this excruciating pain and other symptoms that accompany this disease. And such symptoms include, first of all, an increase in body temperature and a significant swelling of the cheek, neck and chin.
Flux is an inflammation that is located in the periosteum, that is, inflammation of the tissue that fits the jaw bone. This inflammation can be caused by various causes, but the most common of them is the accumulation of pathogens near the root of the tooth and their subsequent inflammation. In this case, pus breaks through the tissue and spreads under the periosteum, capturing the soft tissues of the neck and face. And precisely at this moment, when a person experiences pain from the process taking place in his body, he begins to think about how to get rid of flux. Although it is necessary to think about this in advance and constantly visit the dentist.
If this problem still catches up, and even more so at the most inopportune time, when the trip to the dentist must be postponed for a certain period (at least several hours, but no more), you can use folk remedies. To do this, rinse the oral cavity with an infusion of herbs, which is prepared from three parts of sage grass, two parts of oak bark and four parts of St. John's wort grass. Three tablespoons of this herbal collection is poured with a liter of boiling water and, after it is insisted, the mouth cavity is rinsed.
If you don’t have any such herbs at hand, then in this case you can use a remedy for flux, which is sold in any store and is available for most housewives - cloves. Cloves, first of all, will anesthetize the inflamed area and at least allow access to the nearest dental clinic.
In search of an answer to the question of how to get rid of flux, many begin to apply warming compresses or other dressings to the sore spot. In no case should this be done, as it can lead to much more serious consequences.
But, using all the means at hand, you must remember that even if the pain has gone away for a while, you can not hesitate to visit the dentist. Flux is, first of all, an inflammatory process in the body that must be treated not only locally, but also by taking powerful antiseptics or even antibiotics. The removal of flux occurs by cutting a soft tissue, which will be done by a doctor. Through the incision, pus will be excreted, and the flux will disappear. After that, conservative treatment can be prescribed. Thanks to this action, the patient will become much better, the pain will subside and the tumor will begin to subside.
It is useless to look in folk recipes for the answer to the question of how to get rid of flux, since such treatment will give only a short result and just make the manifestation of symptoms less pronounced. However, they can be used as an additional tool.
