Hello, My 6 years old daughter has toothache. Dentist suggested root canal. However we are trying to avoid this till Covid pandemic persists. Another dentist suggested giving Augmentin DDS Syrup 6ml (3 times a day for 5 days). Do you suggest this temporary medication will relieve her pain till situation normalizes for root canal. Thanks.
