Patient's question:
Medical history description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Tooth nerve pain during lactation. Can I breastfeed during treatment? Tooth nerve pain is currently being treated. Is breastfeeding harmful to the child?Doctor's answer:
This situation is likely caused by periapical periodontitis. It is recommended to visit the dental department of a hospital for an examination. The doctor should conduct a face-to-face check-up to confirm the diagnosis. If it is confirmed to be periapical periodontitis, root canal treatment is necessary to relieve the pain. After the pain improves, root canal treatment can be performed to completely cure the condition. If medication is taken, it may affect breastfeeding. Due to the severe pain, only oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs can be taken. However, after taking medication, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding for 6 to 8 hours.
