Rub your baby's gums. Use a clean finger or wet gauze to rub your baby's gums.
Start giving one tab of Calcareous phos 6 X twice a day. Either put the tablet in baby's mouth and put him on shoulder for 5 to 7 minutes or crush the tablet on a clean butter paper and put in baby's mouth. Increase the dose to 2 tablets when baby completes six months. Continue it till baby completes 12 months.
