Can you recommend a teething gel/granules that seems to work?

DD is suffering at night with her molars coming through. We are giving her medication but it can't get her through the night. My other 2 didn't need anything extra so this is new for me. Any recommendations?

I find Ashton & Parsons teething powders really effective with both of mine. Might not her through the night but it will help her get to sleep in the first place

Thank you MrsMc - where do you get them from? Could only nip into my local supermarket this afternoon and managed to get some Calgel so will give that a go tonight.

Ashton & Parsons also worked wonders for my DS. I got them in Boots.

I am actually in Spain but get whoever is coming over to buy it for me, I think you can get it in most pharmacies and also in Boots. It's a little white box with blue writing. Calgel works pretty well for us too, better than teething bonjela because you can use it more often.

My DS got his teeth early but didn't really suffer. My poor DD has really suffered so far (she is 8m tomorrow and is cutting her 9th tooth) I have bought her an amber teething necklace last week so am hoping that will help. Hope you have a good night

Thanks! Her front teeth didn't really bother her too much. I also had a teething necklace that she used occasionally but the poor wee thing with her back teeth is suffering. Her cheeks are bright red at the moment although she is quite bright. Fingers crossed for a better night!

Boots homeopathic teething granules worked brilliantly for us.

we used for our nightmare teether child (only 1 out of the 4)

Paracetamol & ibuprofen, teetha and/or ashton powders, and anbusol liquid that you dab on.
