A. gripe water has got many side effects so cannot be given daily. it will help in decreasing the colic pain but yes if you give daily the chances of other side effects are more. you can give teether to the two children but if it is not cleaned properly as well as it if it falls down and goes inside the oral cavity again it can lead to infection

A. many times the child will have pain and irritation and the child will place dirty things and fingers in the oral cavity so maintain hygiene of the fingers and for severe pain you can give paracetamol to the child and regularly press the gums of the child to decrease the pain
