Post-extraction anti-inflammatory care mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Frequently rinse the mouth with warm water to reduce inflammation inside the oral cavity; 2. Use antibacterial toothpaste, which can effectively kill bacteria; 3. Take anti-inflammatory medications to reduce oral inflammation and relieve pain and discomfort; 4. Choose light, easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy or irritating foods to minimize irritation to the wound. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
