How to handle the problemcan be carried out with non pharmacological therapy in order to reduce the pain. On of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be given is peppermint aromatherapy. Peppermint aromatherapy is chosen, because it is a cheap and non-invasive form of complementary therapy to improve health in children with pain problems.
