Hello

Your little one can have paracetamol (calpol) and ibuprofen together. You can buy brufen as a liquid in any pharmacy. These work really well together.

;D - hopefully he will have a set of these very soon!

I used ashton and parsons powders for mine and they worked a treat. Boots sell them if you fancy trying. Good luck ;D

Kabie,
I swore by Ashton and Parsons powder, I have twin boys and was I desperate for a remedy, they are two now and only have a couple of teeth to come through thank goodness.

Well, my little boy's 5 months old, and he's been teething since about 3 months....!
I've been giving him the teething powders too, which he seems to love, but I find the best thing is to let him have a good chew on my finger! Also, if you rub their gums for them, it eases it a lot too.
Oh, and I haven't tried them yet, as they're from 6months up because of the gluten content, but several people have reccomended Bickie Pegs to me. They're like really hard, long biscuits that your baby can just munch away on.

They sell them in Boots too, and most chemists.

My seven month has been teething for the last few months and I found several solutions work. If you get a baby size toothbrush, you can put teething gel on it like toothpaste and when the chew on the brush they apply it themselves!

Also boots do a homeopathic teething powder called teething pain relief. This is brilliant and works all the time...and you get your points. You usually find it in the childrens medicine section. Also as an alternative instead of calpol, try using Medised. Its runnier so goes down easier and it contains and anti histamine so good for this time of year. Good luck with all of these.

Try peeling a carrott and putting it in the fridge, our little fella finds great relief from this.
Our Doctor advised us against giving him ibuprofen untill he is one year old, best stick to calpol......

See item on cloves
The only reason I thought of this was that a friend uses cloves to numb her horse's mane area when it is all tangly and she needs to brush it.  It does mention on the site about toothache uses too.  However I would urge you to check with your health visitor first that its ok to use on a toddler
