What medication should be taken for inflammation after tooth extraction?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Patients experiencing inflammation after tooth extraction may choose to use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen. These drugs have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, effectively alleviating pain and improving inflammation. Additionally, patients may also consider using antihistamine medications, such as cetrizole, which can suppress inflammatory responses and reduce pain symptoms. However, patients should follow medical advice when taking medications and avoid self-medicating to prevent adverse reactions.
