I’d say stick to the basics unless something feels really off.

That’s pretty much what we did for my kid after his extraction. I was surprised how much just saltwater and ice helped, honestly. The swelling looked scary, but it eased up after a couple days. I totally get being freaked out by it—watching your child go through that is no picnic. The numbing gels seemed unnecessary for us too, and I worried about him swallowing it. Patience really was the hardest part.
