What to do to ease teething pain?

[shygirliee56]

Hi ladies I've literally tried everything DS 11months teething really bad with a very high fever pulling his ears rubbing his nose very restless already took to doc's to rule out other infections

I've given calpol but not helping the pain I've given him teething powder and gel what else can I do he's crying very badly

Nurofen for babies was always the best thing for us

Yes, I second neurofen. Seemed much better for us for fevers and for teething

I like anbesol liquid, it’s very numbing

Ibuprofen for babies along with anbusol teething liquid. Winning combination!

Second Anbesol liquid

I used it all with my one that suffered horrifically

Paracetamol, ibuprofen, teething powders and numbing gel.

Thirding anbesol. I use it for general tooth pain now too. Amazing for teething babies!

Yep calpol and 2 hours later ibuprofen

Mine used to love a frozen flannel 🤷🏼‍♀️

And no tomatoes or fruit very acidic for the gums

Fourthing Anbesol. Teething powders are an absolute nonsense.

I gave him calpol already at 6pm but he's still in pain 111 said to
Follow instructions of the pack not sure what to do

Teething powders ease acidic tummy and nappies - some DC really suffer with this when teething. Only one of mine did, was utterly horrific.

Do you have ibuprofen to give as well or not?

You need infant Nurofen, it's very much like Calpol but you can give it in-between Calpol doses, up to three times per day. I think it works much better for teething and fevers.

Mine loved the monkey teether, and teething powders at least cheer them up because they're slightly sugary. Rubbing on the sore gum with a flannel sometimes seemed to help. Otherwise you just have to wait it out - it is horrible, I know.

Yes I do have the nurofen so can I give him even though I gave him calpol at 6pm

Because no one on 111 service was helping

What’s his temperature

Yes you can alternate infant paracetamol with infant ibuprofen as they are completely different drugs.

His temp went down not quite sure what it is as I've misplaced my thermometer but he doesn't feel hot he feels normal now

He's just crying in pain

Don't assume it is just teething if he has a high temperature it could be viral or bacterial earache both of which are agony!

Is he happier sat upright?

Doctor already ruled out ear infection went hospital earlier

Guns are the only thing that looks sore

Frozen Lollys....
