  • i use anbesol (sp?) liquid for ulcers and it can be used for teething. It's a small bottle of liquid, abou the size of the oils you use in oil burners but it lasts for ages.

    It stings for a few seconds after you have put it on, then it's great and the relief last for ages.

    The cost, ok it's been a while since I bought it and I think it was about £1.39 - yip really cheap and very very effective.

    It was much better than bongella as that always seemed to stick to your finger and never go where you wanted it.

    Hope this helps and hope your wee one gets better soon.

    Ps some reviews for you here :-

  • Our local pharmacist was able to make us something similar for both ours, last time being about 18mths ago, although the last time he was a bit reluctant and I thnk only did it because we'd used it before. Calgel also works well and we got homeopathic granules, although I'm afraid the name escapes me now, which worked a treat too, also liked these because you could give a quick repeat dose if needed, can't do that with Calpol etc
