Introduction
After dental filling, medication for toothache should strictly follow medical advice. Commonly used oral medications include ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets, metronidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and cefaclor capsules. If tooth pain persists for more than 3 days or is accompanied by severe pain upon biting or gum swelling, prompt re-evaluation at a dental clinic is necessary. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules: This medication belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
补牙后牙疼用药需严格遵医嘱，常用口服Medicine有布洛芬缓释胶囊、对乙酰氨基酚片、甲硝唑片、阿莫西林胶囊、头孢克洛胶囊等。若牙疼持续超3天或伴随咬合剧痛、牙龈肿胀，应及时到口腔科复诊。
1、布洛芬缓释胶囊：该Medicine属于非甾体抗炎药，能抑制前列腺素合成，可缓解补牙后牙髓敏感或轻微炎症引发的疼痛，同时减轻局部红肿，药效持续时间较长，需按医嘱控制用量。
2、对乙酰氨基酚片：该Medicine具有解热镇痛功效，针对补牙后轻中度刺激性疼痛如冷热刺激痛Effect明显，对胃肠道刺激小，适合老人、儿童及胃肠道敏感人群，需严格遵循医嘱服用。
3、甲硝唑片：此Medicine为抗厌氧菌专用药，若补牙后疼痛与继发厌氧菌感染相关，服用后可抑制细菌活性、阻止感染扩散，从而缓解疼痛，需在Doctor指导下确定疗程。
4、阿莫西林胶囊：该Medicine是青霉素类抗生素，适用于补牙后合并细菌感染的情况，能通过破坏细菌细胞壁发挥抗菌作用，帮助消除口腔局部感染、减轻疼痛，用药前需确认无青霉素过敏史。
5、头孢克洛胶囊：此Medicine属于第一代头孢菌素类抗生素，抗菌谱较广，对补牙后引发疼痛的多种细菌有效，适合对青霉素类Medicine不敏感的Patient，需遵医嘱规范用药。
日常Nursing需避免用补牙侧咀嚼食物，24小时内不刷牙触碰补牙部位，不吃过冷过热及过硬食物，饭后用温水轻柔漱口，保持口腔清洁，助力牙齿恢复。
