  • you can also get some liquid stuff mainly directed at people with braces and ulcers but can be used on little ones as well. works in the same was as teething gel. i think its call absol its in a little bottle over the counter.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    thanks.
  • Hi,

    Try Medised (can buy this in Boots or any chemist) - can use it from 3 months onwards - think it's just that bit stronger than Nurofen/Calpol - makes the littl'uns slightly drowsy and better able to get to/stay asleep. Worked a treat with our little boy - we had weeks of sleepless nights, but as soon as we started using this it eased off (good for flu, colds, fever etc too).

  • I really rate the teething granuals they worked for mine and my sisters littlies. You could also try cammomile powders/drops as they a large constituent of the granuals.

    I have heard that amber necklaces are good too, don't know how or why but it is a non intrusive thing to try. :-/
  • Thanks Allexie love the links, I would type lol but I'm not sure what it means. ;D ;D ;D
  • ;Dmedised is brill .Use it only during the night as it makes them very sleepy which is really good if they cannot sleep because othe pain

  • Anbesol is good. It's a liquid and so goes on exactly where you want it to, rather than sliding off which the gels tend to do. Make sure you say it's for teething when you ask at the chemist or you might end up with pile cream (ones anbesol and the other's ambesol). :D
