DS is 8 months and has been teething badly for the last 3 weeks. Every day his cheeks go so red it looks like he will pop and he has disrupted day sleep and is then even more cranky. I've tried gel, giving him stuff to chew on etc. but the only thing that seems to calm him is Calpol. I've been holding out all morning and giving him 5ml before his lunch sleep and then another 5 ml before bedtime. I know that this is not the maximum dose but I've been giving him this for 3 weeks (still no teeth!) and it seems exessive to me. Am I doing him any "harm" by giving him 2 daily doses? I want my DS back to his usual happy self without the medication or without feeling guilty about it!
