Ashton & Parsons teething powder

[Summer2424]

My 5 month old baby is teething, is it ok to use Ashton & Parsons teething powder everyday?

It’s fine. It’s basically sugar and camomile.

Yes, if you read the instructions you can use it several times. My oldest survived on a& p through worst teething ever known to mum lol!
No idea what's in them but they work. Incidentally also work for older kids / adults- used by my DB for wisdom tooth pain & by DS for pain with orthodontic treatment- both where paracetamol & ibuprofen failed to hit it

from the FAQs page:

''Q. How many sachets can I give to my baby?
A.Dosage for children 3 - 6 months: Use a teaspoon to give the powder to your infant: half the contents of one sachet in the morning and the other half in the evening. The sachet should be divided in half by emptying half the contents onto the teaspoon and retaining the other half in the sachet. Children 3-6 months: half a sachet dry on the tongue in the morning and half in the evening. Children over 6 months: 1 sachet dry on the tongue morning and night. The dose can be repeated every 1, 2 or 3 hours if necessary. The maximum dose is 6 doses in 24 hours. If symptoms worsen or persist after 7 days of using this product, a doctor or qualified healthcare practitioner should be consulted.''

so, yes, but if symptoms persist after 7 days consult a medic.

The sugar is a distraction, the camomile is soothing and the granular texture makes them bump or rub gums together which eases the pain.

I found anbesol more effective for teething
