POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. For a 6-month-old baby, teething can be quite uncomfortable, and it’s important to handle it gently. You can try giving your baby a teething ring or chilled (not frozen) teething toys to chew on, which can help soothe the gums. You can also rub a clean finger gently on their gums to provide relief. For medications, always consult with your pediatrician first. Generally, pediatricians may recommend infant acetaminophen (paracetamol) or ibuprofen in the correct dose to alleviate pain or discomfort, but this should only be given under their guidance. Avoid giving any over-the-counter teething gels unless advised by the doctor, as they can contain ingredients that may not be safe for infants. Additionally, ensure your baby is staying hydrated and comfortable during this phase. Always prioritize consulting with a healthcare professional to ensure safe and appropriate care for your baby.
