Should a ten-year-old child take anti-inflammatory medication for tooth extraction? What anti-inflammatory medication should I take?

For the extraction of teeth in 10-year-old children, it is generally not necessary to apply anti-inflammatory drugs. The extraction of milk teeth is a physiological replacement in itself, and there is no inflammation, and these milk teeth are relatively loose, so the extraction is short and traumatic, so there is no need to apply anti-inflammatory drugs. Even if some permanent teeth are extracted at the age of 10, if there is no history of infection in the permanent teeth, anti-inflammatory medication is not necessary. Generally, you should consult the doctor who extracted the tooth to determine whether anti-inflammatory medication should be applied. The application of anti-inflammatory drugs is common in our clinical practice, 1 is to determine that the tooth has an infected lesion, and 1 is a more traumatic and time-consuming extraction, both of which can be considered for the application of anti-inflammatory drugs. In general, preoperative application is more effective than postoperative application to prevent infection. Before surgery, you can consider having the patient take oral amoxicillin or cephalosporin, half an hour before surgery, and anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery, usually for 1-2 days.
