Teething in 5 month baby
My daughter is 5 months old and gums are swollen. She is not able to sit on her own as of now and has decent neck control. At what age this medicine should be started and what dose? Can it be given with milk or it should be crushed and then given?
She is having 3 to 4 potty per day, earlier it was 1 , also she is crying and irritable . Her head is also hot when touching.
Pls advise can we give calcarea phosphorica
She is taking aptamilk stage 1 as my milk was not coming

Why do you want to risk your baby's health..?
Do not give any of the above medicine. It may not suit her.
Her problem needs to be diagnosed and then treated for better recovery.
You need an expert Homeopathic physician asap. Meet him at the clinic.
Online consultation may not justify your case.

It is better to consult and give proper homoeopathic treatment.
Don't experiment with the baby by over the counter suggestions.

There's medicine for child's irritability ,swollen gums and hotness of the head. After considering the totality of symptoms I can give you good medicine.
