Relief for teething
Hi all,
My 7 month old daughter is having teething ache and itching from a week.
She isnt able to sleep properly and only her head seem to be hotter than rest of the body.
Please can anyone advice a teething gel to soothe her itching.
We are not able to console her during nights these days and gums seem to be very tough and rigid. We cant see any swelling , yet she feels itchiness a lot. She bites anything and everything that gets into her hand.
Please help.
Thank you.
PS : Frozen carrots and other stuff didnt help much at all.

You can use gel based teethers.
If child is very uneasy you can give paracetamol drops.
Gently massaging the gums helps too.

Hi.
This is normal. Part of growing. No medications required. Give vegetables or fruit teethers to bite.
