Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. during teething (pain can start as early as 3 months)
there is itching, pain, drooling of saliva, swelling in the gums, oral finger insertion, irritability and crying during the teething process.
it will come intermittently for few days to few weeks and then will go away. usually teething pain doesn't come after 2 years of age.
with the help of your fingers you can press the gums of the child to decrease the pain as well as you can give a pacifier but it should be clean.
you can give a cold cotton cloth to bite and press between the gums
when the child is crying due to pain notx resolving then you can give paracetamol which will also help in decreasing the pain.
long-term medicine on daily basis (homeopathic /allopathic )(theyx are painkiller)are usually not advisable.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Teether can be given to the child in this time it would be good to start with homoeopathic tablet number 21 that also helps a lot in easing down the process and if the child does not like to have solid food you can give more of liquids as of now
