Q.

My baby is 4.5 months and she is drooling excessively. Also she keeps chewing her fingers and rubs her gums on my shoulder. I rub her gums everyday at night for some relief. What else can I do to help her with her teething troubles?

A. Hello ma’am Start giving homoeopathic medication called calcareous PHOS6 tablet three times a day with a gap of six hours as it will really help a lot an easy thing other than that you can consult your doctor if they can help you with something to ease down the irritation and itchiness in the gums
