Patient's question:
A new mom, recently for over 10 days, has been experiencing toothache and can only eat very soft foods. If she eats something slightly hard, her tooth will hurt. She doesn't know what's going on.Onset time and cause: It started about half a month after giving birth, and she is currently breastfeeding.
Treatment history: Not long, no treatment yet.
Help needed: She wants to know if her toothache is related to feeding the baby. Is it due to a nutritional deficiency or just simple inflammation? What are the symptoms of a nutritional deficiency?
Doctor's answer:
Your situation can be temporarily addressed, with common causes being vitamin deficiency, insufficient sleep, and poor oral hygiene. Consider takingB and C, pear, and try to ensure adequate sleep, pay attention to oral hygiene, rinse your mouth immediately after eating, and drink more water. If there is damage to the dental pulp nerve or the need for drainage, it should be removed after weaning. First, temporarily eat some light foods in your diet, such as soups, avoid eating large fish and meat, and add more vegetables and fruits. Don't be afraid of bitterness—bitter gourd is very good for clearing heat. Most importantly, drink plenty of boiled water, or make pear soup, which will not affect the baby's milk intake. It's best to avoid medication as it may not be good for the little one.
