What is Orajel?

Orajel contains benzocaine, a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Orajel numbs the skin or surfaces inside the mouth and used for the temporary relief of pain from sore throat, canker sores, cold sores, fever blisters, minor irritation or injury of the mouth and gums.

Orajel is also use for temporary relief of sore gums due to teething in children 2 years of age and older.

Warnings

Orajel used in the mouth may cause a condition in which the oxygen in your body tissues can become dangerously low. This is a potentially fatal condition called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a). Do not use this medicine if you have ever had methemoglobinemia.

GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF METHEMOGLOBINEMIA: headache, tired feeling, confusion, fast heart rate, and feeling light-headed or short of breath, with a pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.

An overdose of benzocaine can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. Use the smallest amount needed.

Do not use Orajel on a child younger than 2 years old.

Before taking this medicine

Do not use Orajel if you have ever had methemoglobinemia in the past.

Do not use Orajel on a child younger than 2 years old.

An overdose of benzocaine can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This can happen if you apply more than the recommended dose.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if this medicine is safe to use if you have:

  • a personal or family history of methemoglobinemia, or any genetic (inherited) enzyme deficiency;

  • asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorder;

  • heart disease; or

  • if you smoke.

Ask a doctor before using Orajel if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

If you apply Orajel to your chest, avoid areas that may come into contact with the baby’s mouth.

How should I use Orajel?

Use Orajel exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Read all medication guides or instruction sheets.

Your body may absorb more benzocaine if you use too much, if you apply it over large skin areas.

Use the smallest amount needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of Orajel. Do not cover treated skin areas with plastic wrap without medical advice.

Do not use Orajel to treat large skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Avoid using the medicine on skin that is raw or blistered, such as a severe burn or abrasion.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse within the first 7 days of using Orajel. Also call your doctor if your symptoms had cleared up but then came back.

If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since Orajel is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it’s almost time for your next dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of benzocaine topical applied to the skin can cause life-threatening side effects such as uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).

What should I avoid while using Orajel?

Avoid eating within 1 hour after using Orajel on your gums or inside your mouth.

Avoid getting Orajel in your eyes. Avoid swallowing the gel while applying it to your gums or the inside of your mouth.

Orajel side effects

Orajel used in the mouth may cause a condition in which the oxygen in your body tissues can become dangerously low. This is a potentially fatal condition called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a). This condition may occur after only one use of benzocaine or after several uses.

Signs and symptoms may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using Orajel in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE:

  • a headache, tiredness, confusion;

  • fast heartbeats;

  • feeling light-headed or short of breath; and

  • pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Orajel: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:

  • severe burning, stinging, or sensitivity where the medicine is applied;

  • swelling, warmth, or redness; or

  • oozing, blistering, or any signs of infection.

Common Orajel side effects may include:

  • mild stinging, burning, or itching where the medicine is applied;

  • skin tenderness or redness; or

  • dry white flakes where the medicine was applied.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What other drugs will affect Orajel?

Medicine used on the skin is not likely to be affected by other drugs you use. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.

¿Qué es benzocaine topical?

Benzocaine es un anestésico local (medicina que bloquea la sensación). Funciona bloqueando las señales de los nervios en su cuerpo.

Benzocaine topical se usa para reducir el dolor o la incomodidad causados por irritaciones de la piel, dolor de garganta, quemaduras de sol, irritación vaginal o rectal, uñas de los pies encarnadas, hemorroides, y muchas otras fuentes de dolor leve en la superficie del cuerpo. Benzocaine también se usa para adormecer la piel o superficies dentro de la boca, nariz, garganta, vagina, o recto para aliviar el dolor de insertar un instrumento médico como un tubo o un espéculo.

Benzocaine topical no debe usarse para tratar el dolor cuando salen los dientes en los infantes, y no está aprobada para usarse en niños menores de 2 años.Existen muchas marcas y formas de benzocaine topical disponibles. No todas estas marcas se encuentran en esta guía del medicamento.

Benzocaine topical puede también usarse para fines no mencionados en esta guía del medicamento.

¿Cuál es la información más importante que debo saber sobre benzocaine topical?

Benzocaine topical usado en la boca puede causar una condición en la cual el oxígeno en los tejidos en su cuerpo puede disminuir a niveles peligrosamente bajos. Esta condición potencialmente fatal se llama metahemoglobinemia. No use benzocaine topical si usted alguna vez ha tenido metahemoglobinemia.

BUSQUE ATENCIÓN MÉDICA DE EMERGENCIA SI USTED TIENE CUALQUIER SÍNTOMA DE METAHEMOGLOBINEMIA: dolor de cabeza, sensación de cansancio, confusión, latido cardíaco rápido, y sensación de que se va a desmayar o que le falta aire al respirar, con apariencia pálida, azul, o gris en su piel, labios, o uñas.

Una sobredosis de medicina para bloquear la sensación puede causar efectos secundarios fatales si mucha medicina se absorbe a través de la piel hacia su sangre. Use la menor cantidad que necesite.

No use esta medicina en un niño menor de 2 años.

¿Qué debería discutir con el profesional del cuidado de la salud antes de usar benzocaine topical?

No use benzocaine topical si usted alguna vez ha tenido metahemoglobinemia en el pasado.

No use benzocaine topical en un niño menor de 2 años.

Una sobredosis de medicina para bloquear la sensación puede causar efectos secundarios fatales si mucha medicina se absorbe a través de la piel hacia su sangre. Esto puede suceder si usted aplica más de la dosis recomendada.

Sobredosis fatales han ocurrido cuando medicinas para adormecer el dolor han usado sin el consejo de un médico (como durante procedimientos cosméticos con láser para remover vello). Tenga presente que muchos procedimientos cosméticos se hacen sin que haya un médico presente.

Pregúntele a su médico o farmacéutico si ésta medicina es segura para usar si usted tiene:

  • historial personal o de familia de metahemoglobinemia o cualquier deficiencia enzimática hereditaria;

  • asma, bronquitis, enfisema, u otro problema de la respiración,

  • enfermedad del corazón; o

  • si fuma.

Pregúntele a un médico antes de usar esta medicina si usted está embarazada.

Si usted se aplica benzocaine topical en su pecho, evite las áreas que pueden entrar en contacto con la boca del bebé.

¿Cómo debo usar benzocaine topical?

Use exactamente como indicado en la etiqueta, o como lo haya recetado su médico. Lea todas las guías del medicamento o las hojas de instrucción.

Su cuerpo puede absorber más de esta medicina si usted usa demasiada, si la aplica sobre regiones grandes de la piel, o si aplica calor, vendas, o envolturas de plástico sobre las regiones tratadas. La piel cortada o irritada también puede absorber más medicina tópica que la piel sana.

Use la cantidad más pequeña para adormecer la piel o calmar el dolor. No use cantidades grandes de benzocaine topical. No cubra la región de la piel afectada con un vendaje o envoltura de plástico sin la previa aprobación del médico.

No use benzocaine topical para el tratamiento de amplias áreas de la piel o heridas profundas por punción. Evite el uso de la medicina sobre la piel con llagas o en carne viva, como piel severamente quemada o con abrasión.

Para el tratamiento de condiciones menores de la piel, aplique una capa delgada de benzocaine topical sobre el área afectada. Si usa el spray, sostenga el contenedor de 6 a 12 pulgadas lejos de la piel. Evite rociar este medicamento en su cara. Rocíelo en sus manos y luego páselo por su cara, evitando el contacto con los ojos.

Limpie el área con jabón y agua antes de aplicar benzocaine topical. Lávese las manos antes y después de insertar un supositorio rectal.

No tome un supositorio rectal por la boca. Solamente se usa por el recto.

Remueva la envoltura , pero evite agarrar el supositorio por largo tiempo o se le derretirá. Acuéstese en su espalda con sus rodillas levantadas hacia su pecho. Inserte suavemente el supositorio en su recto aproximadamente 1 pulgada, la punta del supositorio primero.

Permanezca acostado por unos pocos minutos mientras el supositorio se derrite. Usted debe sentir poca o ninguna molestia. Evite usar el baño por al menos una hora.

Llame a su médico si sus síntomas no mejoran o si empeoran durante los primeros 7 días de usar benzocaine topical. También llame a su médico si sus síntomas han desaparecido pero luego vuelven.

Si usted esta tratando un dolor de garganta, llame a su médico si el dolor es severo o dura más de 2 días, especialmente si usted también desarrolla fiebre, dolor de cabeza, sarpullido, hinchazón, náusea, vómito, tos o problemas para respirar.

Guarde a temperatura ambiente fuera de la humedad y del calor. No congele.

¿Qué sucede si me salto una dosis?

Ya que benzocaine topical se usa cuando se necesita, usted tal vez no esté en un horario de dosis. Sáltese cualquier dosis que dejó de usar si ya casi es hora para la próxima dosis.

¿Qué sucedería en una sobredosis?

Busque atención médica de emergencia o llame a la línea de Poison Help al 1-800-222-1222. Una sobredosis de benzocaine topical aplicada en la piel puede causar efectos secundarios que pueden amenazar su vida como latidos cardíacos desiguales, convulsiones, estado de coma, respiración lenta, o falla respiratoria (dejar de respirar).

¿Qué debo evitar mientras uso benzocaine topical?

Evite comer durante 1 hora después de usar benzocaine topical en sus encías o dentro de su boca.

Benzocaine topical es para uso solamente en la superficie de su cuerpo, o dentro de la boca, la vagina o el recto. Evite el contacto de esta medicina con sus ojos. Evite tragar el gel, líquido, o pomada mientras se lo aplica en sus encías o dentro de su boca. El spray oral o las pastillas para chupar pueden ser tragados gradualmente durante su uso.

¿Cuáles son los efectos secundarios posibles de benzocaine topical?

Benzocaine topical usado en la boca puede causar una condición en la cual el oxígeno en los tejidos en su cuerpo puede disminuir a niveles peligrosamente bajos. Esta condición potencialmente fatal se llama metahemoglobinemia. Esta condición puede ocurrir después de usar benzocaine solamente una vez o después de varios usos.

Los signos y síntomas de metahemoglobinemia pueden ocurrir a los pocos minutos o hasta 2 horas después de usar benzocaine topical en la boca o garganta. BUSQUE ATENCIÓN MÉDICA DE EMERGENCIA SI USTED TIENE:

  • dolor de cabeza, sensación de cansancio, confusión;

  • latidos cardíacos rápidos;

  • sensación de que se va a desmayar o que le falta aire al respirar; y

  • apariencia pálida, azul, o gris en su piel, labios, o uñas.

Busque atención médica de emergencia si usted tiene signos de una reacción alérgica: ronchas, dificultad para respirar; hinchazón de la cara, labios, lengua, o garganta.

Deje de usar benzocaine topical y llame a su médico de inmediato si usted tiene:

  • quemazón, ardor, o sensibilidad grave donde la medicina ha sido aplicada;

  • hinchazón, calor, o rojez; o

  • secreción, ampollas, o cualquier signo de infección.

Efectos secundarios comunes pueden incluir:

  • ardor leve, quemazón, o picazón donde la medicina ha sido aplicada;

  • sensibilidad o enrojecimiento en la piel; o

  • escamas blancas en la piel donde la medicina fue aplicada.

Esta lista no menciona todos los efectos secundarios y puede ser que ocurran otros. Llame a su médico para consejos médicos relacionados a efectos secundarios. Usted puede reportar efectos secundarios llamando al FDA al 1-800-FDA-1088.

¿Qué otras drogas afectarán a benzocaine topical?

No se cree probable que la medicina usada en la piel afecte otras drogas que usted use. Pero múltiples drogas pueden interactuar con otras. Dígale a cada uno de sus proveedores del cuidado de la salud acerca de todas las medicinas que usted esté usando, incluyendo medicinas con o sin receta, vitaminas y productos herbarios.

What is the most important information I should know about benzocaine topical?

Benzocaine topical used in the mouth may cause a condition in which the oxygen in your body tissues can become dangerously low. This is a potentially fatal condition called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a). Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia.

GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF METHEMOGLOBINEMIA: headache, tired feeling, confusion, fast heart rate, and feeling light-headed or short of breath, with a pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.

An overdose of numbing medication can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. Use the smallest amount needed.

Do not use this medicine on a child younger than 2 years old.

What is benzocaine topical?

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Benzocaine topical is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. Benzocaine is also used to numb the skin or surfaces inside the mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.

Benzocaine topical should not be used to treat teething pain in infants, and is not approved for use in a child younger than 2 years old. There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available. Not all brands are listed on this leaflet.

Benzocaine topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using benzocaine topical?

Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia in the past.

Do not use benzocaine topical on a child younger than 2 years old.

An overdose of numbing medication can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This can happen if you apply more than the recommended dose.

Fatal overdoses have occurred when numbing medicines were used without the advice of a medical doctor (such as during a cosmetic procedure like laser hair removal). Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if this medicine is safe to use if you have:

  • a personal or family history of methemoglobinemia, or any genetic (inherited) enzyme deficiency;
  • asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorder;
  • heart disease; or
  • if you smoke.

Ask a doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

If you apply benzocaine topical to your chest, avoid areas that may come into contact with the baby’s mouth.

How should I use benzocaine topical?

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Read all medication guides or instruction sheets.

Your body may absorb more of this medicine if you use too much, if you apply it over large skin areas, or if you apply heat, bandages, or plastic wrap to treated skin areas. Skin that is cut or irritated may also absorb more topical medication than healthy skin.

Use the smallest amount needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical. Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice.

Do not use benzocaine topical to treat large skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Avoid using the medicine on skin that is raw or blistered, such as a severe burn or abrasion.

To treat minor skin conditions, apply a thin layer of benzocaine topical to the affected area. If using the spray, hold the container 6 to 12 inches away from the skin. Do not spray this medication onto your face. Spray it instead on your hands and then rub it onto the face, avoiding contact with your eyes.

Clean the area with soap and water before applying benzocaine topical. Wash your hands before and after inserting a rectal suppository.

Do not take a rectal suppository by mouth. It is for use only in your rectum.

Remove the wrapper, but avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt. Lie on your back with your knees up toward your chest. Gently insert the suppository into your rectum about 1 inch, pointed tip first.

Stay lying down for a few minutes while the suppository melts. You should feel little or no discomfort. Avoid using the bathroom for at least an hour.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse within the first 7 days of using benzocaine topical. Also call your doctor if your symptoms had cleared up but then came back.

If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.

What should I avoid while using benzocaine topical?

Avoid eating within 1 hour after using benzocaine topical on your gums or inside your mouth.

  • a headache, tiredness, confusion;
  • fast heartbeats;
  • feeling light-headed or short of breath; and

Is it safe to use Orajel or Anbesol for teething?

The FDA has strengthened its warnings about benzocaine, a medication used to numb pain that is included in some over-the-counter teething products. Though it’s rare, swallowing benzocaine can cause a dangerous condition called methemoglobinemia, in which not enough oxygen is carried in the blood.

The latest FDA warning states that benzocaine products should not be used in children younger than 2 years. It also calls on manufacturers to stop marketing benzocaine products for teething and to add a warning about methemoglobinemia to the product label.

What are some ways that you can relieve your child’s teething pain, without using numbing medications like Orajel or Anbesol?

  • Gently massage your child’s gums.
  • Give your child something firm and cool to chew on. Make sure it is clean, and large enough that they can’t choke on it, and supervise them closely. Some possibilities are a chilled teething ring or pacifier; a cool, wet washcloth; a chilled cucumber or carrot; or hard, unsweetened teething crackers. Avoid using frozen items. They may be too hard or uncomfortably cold.
  • Comfort and distract your child. Sing a favorite song, read a book, rock your child, or gently message them. Breastfeeding can also help.
  • If your child is in a lot of discomfort, your doctor may recommend giving them some over-the-counter pain-relieving medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil).  Always check with your child’s doctor before giving medication, and carefully follow the directions on the product label.

If you have given your child an over-the-counter medication that contains benzocaine, or if you have question about the risk of using these products, call the poison center at 1-800-222-1222 or text POISON to 85511.

The US FDA orders a recall on Baby Orajel and other teething painkillers that include benzocaine — Quartz

Twenty-seven years after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a mild oral painkiller for over-the-counter use, the agency is reversing its stance.

On May 22, the FDA issued a warning about over-the-counter products containing benzocaine, citing “serious safety concerns” and a “lack of efficacy for teething.” The painkiller can be found in Baby Orajel, a gel that can be spread over the gums, as well as in other sprays, gels, and lozenges.

In children under two, benzocaine can cause a condition known as methemoglobinemia, where oxygen levels in the blood are abnormally low. Symptoms include a gray or bluish appearance, especially in the lips and nail beds, as well as rapid breathing and an elevated heart rate. They can occur a couple of minutes to several hours after receiving a dose of a product containing benzocaine. In some cases, methemoglobinemia can be fatal.

The FDA’s warning is an update to a statement the regulatory agency made seven years ago. At that time, the FDA was aware that methemoglobinemia was a rare reaction to benzocaine; it had received a total of 319 reports of this particular complication, not limited to children. Seventy-two of them occurred between 2006 and 2011. In that statement, the FDA said it planned to monitor benzocaine products, and would update advisories as needed.

In addition to warning consumers this week, the FDA sent a letter (pdf) to companies that sell these products, request that they discontinue any lines marketed for teething relief. According to the letter, benzocaine products marketed to adults—including Orajel, Anbesol, Cepacol, and Chloraseptic—are still considered safe, but need to contain two additional warnings: one telling users that the product shouldn’t be used for children under two, or for teething, and another about the risks of methemoglobinemia.

Even before the latest warning, the American Academy of Pediatrics did not endorse these types of teething painkillers. Tiny baby bodies can easily swallow too much of a particular painkilling gel, it says. It’s better to give your child a rubber teething ring or a gentle finger massage (frozen toys have been known to also cause oral injuries).

90,000 how does it work, which one is better to choose

In infancy, when the baby has not yet formed the digestive system and the musculoskeletal system, the problem of the eruption of the first teeth is also added. These problems can begin in each child individually, ranging from 4 months of age to 1.5 years.

We all know that the threshold of sensitivity is different for each person. This also applies to babies. Some of them acquire teeth completely imperceptibly, others suffer for a long time in order to acquire at least one.

For the first time, faced with teething in her baby, mom is lost, because the rise in temperature is unpredictable and dangerous for the child.

Modern pharmacology can offer remedies to reduce pain in a baby. Teething gels and teethers can help you in this. Let’s dwell on each of them in more detail, and choose not which one is better to stop.

How Teething Gel Works

Teething Gel is a transparent gel-like mass that is slightly sweet in taste.The application technique is simple: with clean, pre-washed fingers or a cotton swab, apply a small amount of the gel to the gum surface where the tooth comes out, and that’s it.

The remedy works almost instantly, but its effect is short-lived. It is not difficult to determine the place of the future tooth: there will be a slight swelling and redness in this place.

It should be noted that the gel does not in any way accelerate the growth of the tooth, it only relieves pain, so you should not abuse it too much, nothing will change from this, the tooth will grow exactly as it should.

Another nuance: before using, consult a pediatrician, he will tell you which brand to buy (the most common are Kalgel, Orajel, Dentinox or Anbesol), based on the characteristics of your child. This is necessary because some of these gels can trigger allergies.

Teether

This “device” with the mysterious name “teether” is made of rubberized material. It can be whole or filled with distilled water.They can be varied in shape, imitate household items or toys.

Used to relieve pain from the gums through massage. Better to opt for filled teethers. Such “tools” can be put in the refrigerator for a while and then given to the baby.

Cooled teethers work with a double effect, freezing pain. A huge plus for this type of pain relief is that it has no contraindications and is not allergic.

Teeth are being cut: how to help the child

Of course, every mom’s first-aid kit should have an anesthetic for the baby, but temporarily you can help him yourself. This method can be used in combination with others.

Wash your hands well with soap, wrap a sterile bandage around your finger and massage the gums. Don’t let the method seem too simple to you! It really works, because not all children like to stick cold teethers into their mouths, and there may be an allergy to the gel. Try to help your child get rid of the pain for at least a small amount of time.Believe me, he will be grateful to you!

Drooling – en.wikituscany.com

“Drool” redirects here. For the movie, see Saliva (movie).

Drooling
Other Names Drooling, Nonsense, Dribbling, Drooling, Sialorrhea
Drooling Malamute

Drooling or Drooling is the flow of saliva outside the mouth.Drooling can be caused by excess salivation, an inability to hold saliva in your mouth (salivary incontinence), or problems swallowing (dysphagia or odonophagia).

There are frequent and harmless cases of salivation. For example, mouth numbness from Orajel or when visiting a dental office.

Isolated drooling is normal in healthy infants and toddlers and may be associated with teething. This is hardly a sign of illness or complications.Drooling in infants and young children can be exacerbated by upper respiratory infections and nose allergies.

Some people with salivation problems are at increased risk of inhaling saliva, food, or fluids into their lungs, especially if the salivation is secondary to a neurological problem. However, as long as the body’s normal reflex mechanisms (such as vomiting and coughing) are not impaired, it is not life threatening.

Causes

Drooling or sialorrhea may occur during sleep.This is often the result of open-mouth posture from CNS depressants or sleeping on the side. Sometimes during sleep, saliva does not accumulate in the back of the pharynx and does not trigger the normal swallowing reflex, which leads to illness. Freud theorized that drooling occurs during deep sleep and during the first few hours after falling asleep, since those who suffer from this symptom are most affected during sleep, not during nighttime sleep. [ citation needed ]

A sudden onset drooling may indicate poisoning – especially with pesticides or mercury – or a reaction to snake or insect venom.Excess capsaicin can also cause salivation, such as eating chili peppers with a particularly high Scoville content. Some neurological problems cause drooling. Medicines can cause drooling, either because of their main action or because of side effects; for example, Orajel pain reliever can numb the mucous membranes.

Reasons include:

  • exercise, especially cardiovascular [ citation needed ]
  • stroke and other neurological pathologies
  • Intellectual disability
  • autism
  • 9011 adenoidal hypertrophy 9011 lateral cerebrophy
  • tumors of the upper digestive tract
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • rabies
  • mercury poisoning

Drooling associated with fever or difficulty swallowing may be a sign of an infectious disease, including:

  • 6
  • 1 abscess
  • abscess

  • abscess
  • tonsillitis
  • mononucleosis
  • streptococcal throat
  • obstructive diseases (tumors, stenosis)
  • inability to swallow due to neurodegenerative diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
  • Nursing

    A comprehensive treatment plan depends on the cause and includes several stages of treatment: elimination of reversible causes, behavior change, medical treatment and surgical procedures.

    Atropine sulfate tablets are used in some cases to reduce salivation. The same is true with anticholinergics, which can also be helpful as they decrease the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and can lead to decreased salivation. They can be prescribed by doctors in conjunction with behavior change strategies. Other drugs used are glycopyrrolate and botulinum toxin A, which are injections of Botox into the salivary glands to reduce saliva production.

    Generally, surgical procedures are considered after a clear diagnosis of the cause and evaluation of non-invasive treatment options. In severe cases, it can sometimes be treated with surgery – moving the salivary ducts or, in extreme cases, resecting the salivary glands.

    Home care

    When salivating during teething, oral hygiene must be observed. Ice ice or other cold items (like frozen bagels) can be helpful.Care must be taken not to suffocate when a child uses any of these items. Drooling is also common in children with neurological disorders or undiagnosed developmental delay.

    Excessive drooling can be caused by:

    1. lack of awareness of accumulation of saliva in the mouth
    2. infrequent swallowing
    3. ineffective swallowing

    Treatment of excessive drooling eliminates its cause:

  • increased mouth awareness and development of mouth awareness
  • developing swallowing skills
  • Popular culture

    The scope of meaning of the term drooling in popular usage has expanded to include any occasion when someone desires something.

    Lidocaine Anesthetic Gum Gel

    .

    With the development of various dental diseases, as well as with teething, painful sensations often appear in the gums, and their sensitivity also increases.Anesthetic gels, which include active ingredients that quickly eliminate pain, will help to get rid of such symptoms. You can also use ointments.

    When do you need gels?

    Anesthetic gel is often needed to relieve toothache and gum pain caused by various oral problems. The main ones include:

    • bleeding gums;
    • trauma to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and their swelling;
    • inflammation that develops against the background of an extracted tooth;
    • pain syndrome when pressing the gingival tissues and their redness;
    • pain in the gums while eating;
    • Itching sensations in the gum tissue and burning.

    Teething in a child is a painful process

    Such problems often develop against the background of gingivitis, periodontitis and other diseases. Gels that can quickly relieve pain are in high demand, as they act locally and become active within a few minutes after application.

    The effect lasts about 3-5 hours, depending on the type of preparation. The active ingredient quickly penetrates the tissues and eliminates unpleasant symptoms.

    Types of gels

    Most of the gels used to numb the gums and teeth contain lidocaine or another anesthetic. You need to apply such creams with a cotton swab or with clean hands. All pain relief gels are divided into three groups.

    • With a cooling effect. These drugs include lidocaine, which acts as an anesthetic. After applying these gels, the pain relieving effect occurs in a few minutes and lasts about 8 hours.Such remedies reduce sensitivity in the inflamed gums. It is necessary to take funds with lidocaine during lactation half an hour before feeding the baby. The dosage of drugs with lidocaine should be no more than 0.5-1 cm of gel on the surface of the mucous membrane. The cooled problem area of ​​the mucous membrane immediately becomes less sensitive.
    • Anti-inflammatory without lidocaine. Such drugs are considered to be quite effective and have a minimum list of contraindications. They do not contain anesthetic, but they can eliminate the inflammatory process and remove pain in the gums.
    • Homeopathic. These gels contain herbal ingredients that provide quick relief from inflammation and pain. It is important to make sure that there is no hypersensitivity to the components, as allergies may develop.

    Before using any of the gels to relieve gums, you should consult your doctor.

    Teething in children can be relieved with gels

It copes well with the pain syndrome caused by the inflammatory process in the gum tissue. The active ingredient in this drug is corn oil. As soon as they get on the mucous membranes, a protective lash is formed and they accelerate the regeneration process. Very often, the drug is prescribed to patients who wear prosthetic structures.

    Parodontosis

    Periodontal anesthetic gel for gums is often used in the treatment of periodontal disease.The gel is prescribed only in extreme cases, with severe inflammation and bleeding of the gums.

It should be applied in a thin layer, moistening the gums with water.

In fact, the most common cause is trauma, external damage to the mucous membrane, that is, harm caused by you. You can do this with sharp objects such as toothpicks or nails.

    Other causes are infection and ulcers, which we will discuss below.It is very important to note that white bumps on the gums by themselves are not an infection, but a symptom of an underlying disease. Seek medical attention as soon as you notice these changes.

    Ulcers, sometimes called aphthous ulcers, are open and painful ulcers found in the gums.This is the most common type of mouth ulcer. It can affect the lips, the inner cheek, and sometimes the tongue. This should be the most likely cause of white bumps on the tongue.

    You don’t need to worry about an ulcer. They are not harmful and most types are not continuous. You may have a simple ulcer that appears once or twice a year. The most serious form of ulcers is those that affect those who have had ulcers before. Sores can often be confused with herpes. The best way to identify the two is that, while a peptic ulcer affects the inside of the mouth, herpes is external and affects the lips.

    The cause of the ulcer is unknown, but over time it has been discovered that stress and tissue damage are the main causes of simple ulcers. Certain foods, such as citrus fruits and acidic foods, can cause ulcers and worsen pain and irritation. Toothbrush braces and dentures can also make the condition worse. Complex peptic ulcer disease can be associated with an underlying medical condition, which can include a weak immune system, nutritional problems (vitamin B-12 deficiency), or a gastrointestinal disorder such as celiac disease.

    For minor ulcers, a simple solution can be made. After a week, the ulcers may go away on their own, even if left untreated. Otherwise, immediate medical attention may be needed for large, unrelenting, and truly painful sores that cannot go away. Over-the-counter or prescription products such as pastes, creams, and gels can be helpful when applied to certain ulcers. You should try benzocaine, hydrogen peroxide, or fluocinonide (fluonex, lonide, and vanos).

It can be spread by close contact with an infected person, by touching infected objects, such as a toothbrush.

    For most people, mouth ulcers are the first sign of HSV-1 infection, and other people also have symptoms of this type. Symptoms can be mild to severe and usually appear within one to three weeks. If any of the following symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.

    ;)) and I have the same problem. Advil works well if you can use it but I can’t.Exederin worked well when I was still able to take it, it’s another drug I can’t take. I was prescribed a viscous 2% lidocaine, and although it works for 15-20 minutes, the pain returns when it goes away. I found that it works best, trust me, is a listerine gargle in my mouth for about a minute. Make sure it also contains methyl salicylate. I think this is what makes it work. When I do this and hold a heating pad (covered and over low heat) on the part of my mouth that hurts, it relieves most of the pain.

    Often the dentist makes a prescription call when it’s Friday and they know you’ll be in pain all weekend.

    If that didn’t work, I would use 800 milligrams of advil every 6 hours and Tylenol every 4 hours.
    I would use a pain reliever. Medicines like orajel, but I would also apply aspirin directly to the aching tooth

    I know this is an old thread, but after reading 5 million messages since I was in agony for 5 weeks with a lot of pain… the swollen jaw throbbed continuously that every time I thought it would pass, it just moved to a new place in my mouth .. he was on minocycline and percocet, and no relief. actually got bad enough, I cut my gums with a precision razor to relieve the pressure .. The only thing that finally worked was the oregano oil I bought from the herbal store. I applied it directly to the swollen area and tooth and then swallowed the rest … after all, 48 hours minimal pain, only a little pain from time to time.I hope this helps someone to call God, I know how terrible any pain in the mouth can be and how merciless it can be.

    I used the OTC med kit. Named “Kanka”, it is intended for the treatment of ulcers, but did not receive the orajac on time, and the pain was very strong and, of course, on the weekend! Lanka is amazing, she is the most overwhelming, but she cures infection very well. Guess it’s because a peptic ulcer is an open wound and it doesn’t treat a tooth infection.After working for many years, I tell everyone that I have a toothache, the same thing, and I get a big thank you later and smile that there is no more pain. Downside only: Do not drink after applying. it makes a movie you’ve ever directed, but it is impressive, although it shows that the same pain reliever in the oraj works much stronger, I just can’t explain why. But it works! If you drink it, he will wash it off. The other is warm salt water. Not hot, not cold, but warm well. Warm soothing salt heals naturally.Do not drink swish (slowly gently if pain is severe) and do not spit out or open your mouth and let it fall out. Some people spit a lot, it can hurt. Swinging quickly can slow the pain down.

    Expand …

    During severe pain, I rinsed and just held a little so that the salt water would get on the aching tooth. The warmth is soothing. hotter can be more painful, like ice water, if your teeth are sensitive to hot and cold. I do it a little lower than the temperature, but warmer than the temperature in the room.But from the intense pain of Kanka. If the dentist is okay, an amoxacillic antibiotic is good for a severe infection, but ladies … Here you can warn of a yeast infection. Of course, not everyone will get one, but a common one for this medication. I have a document to order diflucin (yeast infection tablets), I take it 24 hours after starting the antibiotic and usually do not receive it. Who needs a toothache and a fungal infection at the same time? Hope this helps. Kanka saved many of his teeth from pulling out.Before serious dental problems, it is better to add salt water.

    From what I have experienced, it can help keep cold water in your mouth by continually replenishing it (when it gets warm).I’m in such pain right now. Typically, before severe pain occurs, you will have a warning sign that a tooth needs attention. Don’t wait, then take care of it.

    I just put on braces, tried everything like Tylenol, Advil, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, and nothing worked. Need help what should I use. There is severe pain.

    So, I wanted to say about cold water: once you get into the habit, it will be difficult to break, and it can significantly aggravate the pain, because after a while your teeth begin to throb.I cried in pain, which at first was a mild irritation. The best thing to do when this happens is to suck it in and deal with it until the throbbing has passed.

    As an emergency doctor who once had a gastric lavage, don’t take all OTC pain relievers. It’s a disaster.

    I know this is an old article, but I want to share my wisdom. I’ve tried mouthwash, orajel, vanilla extract, salt water, and pain relievers. In my opinion, mouthwash works best when it hurts, but not when it is very strong.I have found that with severe toothache, peroxide completely relieves pain, as well as headaches and the like. What I do is let the peroxide bubble for 5-10 minutes (this may sound odd or tingling a little, but the results are worth it!) Of course, don’t swallow the peroxide. I hope this information will be helpful because last night the pain in my tooth was unbearable and I was not near my house or peroxide and my listerine was not doing anything for me, I came home this afternoon, my whole body ached. side of the mouth and neck pain with headache.Peroxide saved me from this intense pain. 🙂

    Jumping back and forth at three hour intervals with Tylenol and Ibuprofen will help. Also use Listerine or hydrogen peroxide and hold them near the affected area for a minute or two. Also drink cool but not cold water regularly, and make sure you have plenty of fluids, but no more than 2 gallons a day. Initially, hydrogen peroxide may burn from cleaning the affected area, but within five minutes or so, it should stop the pain for a longer period until the medication takes effect.Just make sure the place is very clean as often as possible. Use hydrogen peroxide to finish blowing out anything else in the area and clear the debris from the infected area. Hope this helps, it worked for me.

    Well, I had a severe toothache, my whole left side was very painful, I took ale well, but it didn’t help, finally tried all the remedies and decided to rinse my mouth with Tylenol liquid until the pain disappeared, then swallow and swallow one an ale tablet on the side that hurt, the pain went away almost instantly, I know it tasted awful, but I was desperate I also applied an anesthetic gel to the side of the face where the teeth and gums hurt, I hope this helps anyone with have a pain in the mouth

    Herpes are small blisters that usually form on the lips, chin, cheeks, or nostrils.Less commonly, they appear on the gums or palate.

    Herpes usually causes pain, burning, or itching before bursting and crusting. People sometimes call them fever blisters.

    The most common cause of herpes is herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). In other cases, these sores are the result of infection with another strain called herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).

    In the United States, 48.1% of all people aged 14–49 are infected with HSV-1, making them more susceptible to herpes.

    These ulcers cannot be cured or prevented, but the person can take steps to reduce the frequency and duration of outbreaks.

    Causes

    The strains of viruses that cause herpes, usually HSV-1 and less commonly HSV-2, are highly contagious and are easily transmitted through close contact, such as sexual intercourse.

    After the virus enters the body, a person may develop:

    • flu symptoms
    • sores in the mouth or around the mouth or in the nostrils
    • sores around the genitals, in some cases

    If transmission occurs during oral sex, around genital ulcers may develop oral herpes or cold sores.

    A herpes outbreak usually lasts 1-2 weeks without treatment before the body’s immune system suppresses the virus.

    The virus does not leave the body and, although it remains inactive most of the time, it can periodically reactivate, causing herpes.

    Most people with oral herpes do not realize this until they experience cold sores or other symptoms. Some people have only one outbreak and no recurrence because the virus remains dormant.

    Others may have frequent outbreaks that last for many years.

    Symptoms

    Some people with oral herpes do not have symptoms, while others do not develop symptoms until the first time they come into contact with the virus.

    However, at least 25% of people with oral herpes experience recurrent outbreaks. In this case, herpes often appears in the same places every time.

    Initial symptoms of HSV-1 infection may appear 2–20 days after exposure to the virus and may include:

    • lesions on the tongue, mouth, chin, cheeks, or nostrils
    • pain in the mouth or tongue
    • swelling of the lips
    • difficulty swallowing
    • sore throat
    • swollen lymph nodes
    • high body temperature
    • headaches
    • dehydration
    • nausea

    There may also be an infection of the mouth and gums known as gingivostomatitis.This lasts 1-2 weeks and is not repeated.

    In addition, an infection of the throat and tonsils, called pharyngotonsillitis, can develop in adults with primary oral herpes simplex infections.

    Stages of herpes symptoms

    Herpes, when it reappears, develops in several stages.

    • Tingling, itching, or burning around the mouth often indicates the onset of a flare-up.
    • Painful fluid-filled sores appear, usually around the mouth.
    • Ulcers burst and fluid is secreted.
    • A yellow crust forms on the sores.
    • The crust peels off, revealing pink skin that heals in 3-4 days.

    Without treatment, most cold sores resolve within 1–2 weeks and do not leave scars.

    Learn more about the stages of herpes.

    Diagnostics

    People with recurrent outbreaks can manage them at home by recognizing the signs and taking medication.

    However, consult your doctor if:

    • Symptoms are severe.
    • Herpes does not heal within 10 days.
    • Swelling of the gums.
    • The person has a weakened immune system.
    • Other symptoms are of concern.

    A doctor can usually diagnose the problem by looking at the symptoms and performing a visual examination, but in some cases, such as if a person has a weakened immune system, they may also order a blood test or take a fluid sample from an ulcer for analysis. …

    Some factors that can weaken the immune system include HIV, organ transplant medications, certain cancers, and certain cancer treatments.

    Nursing

    Most herpes outbreaks go away in 1-2 weeks without treatment.

    However, some over-the-counter or prescription drugs can shorten the duration of an outbreak and reduce discomfort or pain, although they do not clear the virus from the body.

    In most cases, it is best to start treatment as soon as the first signs of an outbreak appear.

    Why is there no cure for herpes? Find out here.

    Antiviral creams

    OTC antiviral creams may shorten the duration of an outbreak.Most creams such as Zovirax and Sotelip contain acyclovir or penciclovir.

    Apply the cream to the affected area every 2-3 hours for 5 days.

    Oral Antivirals

    Here are some examples of antivirals that can be taken by mouth:

    • valacyclovir (Valtrex)
    • acyclovir (Zovirax)
    • famciclovir (Famvir)

    A doctor can prescribe one of these drugs a person has a weakened immune system or has regular outbreaks of the disease.

    A person takes it 1-2 times a day.

    These medicines may shorten the duration of the outbreak and prevent recurrence.

    Learn more about herpes treatment here.

    Pain relief

    OTC drugs contain analgesics such as benzocaine or lidocaine. They do not speed up the healing process, but they can reduce discomfort.

    Some pain relievers for herpes include:

    • Orajel
    • Blistex
    • Cymex
    • Anbesol

    People should apply these ointments, creams or gels to ulcers with a cotton swab and it is important not to share these products.

    If, instead, a person applies the medicine with a finger, they should wash their hands before and after.

    Some alternatives include medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).

    Home Remedies

    Some people find the following home care methods to relieve herpes symptoms:

    • Apply cold soaked tea bags every hour
    • Blotting this area with diluted geranium, lavender or tea tree oil
    • Use petroleum jelly to preserve skin moist, preventing cracking

    There is no scientific evidence that these products work or are safe.

    Find out more about whether home remedies can help treat herpes.

    Complications

    In rare cases, oral herpes can lead to complications, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

    Potential complications include:

    • dehydration if pain from sores makes it difficult to drink
    • herpetic bump, a painful infection that can occur through a cut in the skin and cause blisters, usually on the fingers
    • herpetic keratoconjunctivitis, which can cause secondary infections swelling and irritation of the eyes, ulcers on the eyelids and, if untreated, loss of vision
    • encephalitis or cerebral edema that can occur when an infection spreads

    Encephalitis can be life-threatening.

    Prophylaxis

    If ulcers are present, try:

    • Avoid kissing or other skin-to-skin contact on the affected area.
    • Use a dental pad or condom during oral sex.
    • Avoid sharing personal items such as towels and lip balm.
    • Follow correct hand washing technique.
    • Avoid touching areas where ulcers may form, such as the eyes, mouth, nose, and genitals.
    • If touching ulcers is necessary, wash your hands with warm water and soap before and after.

    Outlook

    Herpes can be a painful and devastating symptom of oral herpes.

    Many people are free of complications and can manage flare-ups at home with over-the-counter or prescription treatments.

    Anyone with a weakened immune system should tell their doctor if they have cold sores or any other symptoms of oral herpes.

    Recognition of early signs of an outbreak and immediate treatment may help. Untreated, cold sores often go away within 1 to 2 weeks.
