My 6 month old is teething badly. Can I give her calpol and anbesol together?

Yes!

Just FYI though, I always found nurofen more effective for teething.

Yep, although anecdotally Nurofen is better for teething pain, which can also be given at the same time as Anbesol

do you have the Anbesol liquid or the gel? Liquid is tonnes better, the gel seems to sort of slide off quite quickly.

Nurofen is much better than calpol. But yes,
you can give them together. Teething is the pits.

Thanks everyone! I've found some neurofen instead and she's had both. Fingers crossed it settles her!! And it's the liquid I have of anbesol :)
