What the title says really, have toothache like wisdom teeth coming through (except it is one where the WT has already come through).

Can I use bonjella?

Ouch! Poor you, sounds awful.

I get mouth ulcers a lot so I asked my pharmacist today and she said DEFINITELY NOT for adult bonjela and wasn't sure about the baby stuff. Apparently the adult stuff has something in it that can be really dangerous for children.

Hope your teeth feel better soon. Are you taking paracetamol for the pain?

Managed to stay off the paracetemol so far (I reckon I'll cave there though if it gets bad enough to stop me from eating [confused!])

Will pop into the pharmacy tomorrow and see what they say re the teething bonjella.

Have made a dentist appt but they couldn't fit me in until next week (gah!) so am hoping it will have magically disappeared before then (fingers crossed.....)
