Paracetamol for toothache during lactation

Paracetamol is less suitable for toothache than other painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Paracetamol has an analgesic effect and is effective in reducing fever. Besides their pain-relieving component, drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Toothache is often caused by inflammation, so it makes sense to choose a painkiller that has both pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. For breastfeeding women, ibuprofen is the drug of choice for toothache.
