.....and I can't find a dentist. My regular dentist prescribed antibiotics so it shouldn't get infected, but he pain is really bad. She's 5 years old. How long can I give her Tylenol. Who knows how long we'll be in quarantine???

Why don’t you know how long quarantine is going to be? Who put you in quarantine and why?

Ask your dentist about using clove oil. It must be diluted in a carrier oil for use in kids. Refuah shelaima.

My son was exposed to someone who tested positive, and he started exhibiting symptoms on Sunday. No one can tell me if quarantine is over two weeks from when our family was first exposed, or two weeks from after our family is virus free (and who knows when that is). No one put us in quarantine, we self isolated when he got cough and fever.
In the meantime she's screaming in pain and tylenol only helps a bit. The pain wakes her at night.

Where would I get clove oil? (I'm in quarantine, so I can't even go out).
How do I use it if I do manage to get it?

Are you sure that it is a tooth ache and not an ear infection? (Back teeth sometimes hurt and its hard to tell where it is coming from...)

Find someone that can take her to the dentist. This is an emergency and must be taken care of ASAP.

Advil or Motrin works better for a toothache than Tylenol. Also lasts longer so she can sleep better hopefully. Ambesol or any other teething medicine may work as well. I think that’s a better choice than Clove oil. Ask your pediatrician if you’ve never given motrin or Advil before. Is she also taking antibiotics?

Except if she really has corona they are saying motrin and advil are terrible for that.Tylenol is safer.

Finding someone to take her won't help. She is just as exposed as I am. I don't want to give her Motrin because the whole reason that we're in quarantine is that we don't know if we've been infected.
She took the antibiotics, but I really need her to be seen. It's not an ear infection. I know that she had a
cavity, and I had an appointment booked to fill out, but it was cancelled when everyone was told to self isolate.
Can anyone tell me how long we'll have to be in quarantine? I can't find that info anywhere?

This is a reason to break quarantine. It's an emergency. You cannot let a child be in agony. An ignored infected tooth can become septic. Take her to the ER if you have to.

Breaking quarantine is one thing, but go find a dentist who will treat a kid who's been exposed to covid.
She's on antibiotics, so I'm not straps of an infraction going septic, but I really need her to be seen, and I'd like to make an appointment somewhere for the day we're done quarantine.
Can I assume that two weeks after my son started symptoms that if we didn't come down with anything yet, we're okay to go out? (With social distancing of course).

Yes, call doctors and dentists. She needs help, and shouldn't wait. Don't do ER, but someone will tell you how to handle this.

Ask your pediatrician about Motrin or Advil. Not everyone is in agreement that it's a problem to take at this point.

Please don't let a child be in agony till the end of quarantine!! It's torture! Make some phone calls to find a solution for now. Call you're pediatrician and dentists. Don't let your child suffer.

Wait, she was already seen by a dentist who was supposed to treat the cavity? Please call their emergency line and let them know what's happening. It's not ok to leave an existing patient in terrible pain indefinitely. They can take necessary precautions, but they have no reason not to treat her.

I agree with the above posters. Take care of this right away! Dentist must treat, otherwise you should head to the ER.
