Hii...You should consult pediatric dentist for your son. If there's cavity in his teeth, it will not cure with medicine & it will increase with time. So go for proper treatment option.. For any further detailed information & precautions, you can book a video consultation with me.

Get the cavities filled if he has no pain and infection in tooth. But if there is pain and infection in tooth, get his pulpectomy/ root canal treatment done. The infection will not heal with medicines alone
