POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It sounds like your baby may be experiencing teething discomfort, which is common at a certain stage in their development. Teething can cause irritation, pain, and discomfort, leading to fussiness, difficulty sleeping, and a desire to chew on things. If your baby is still awake despite using the prescribed treatment (Dentogel and P250), here are a few things to consider:
1. Teething Discomfort: Even if the dentist did not find any specific issues, teething can cause significant discomfort that might keep your baby awake, especially if teeth are about to emerge. The gel and medication may not completely alleviate the pain.
2. Other Causes: It could also be that there is a mild infection or irritation in the mouth or gums that was not detected during the dental examination, or there might be another unrelated cause, such as a cold or digestive discomfort.
3. Discomfort from Medication: Sometimes, certain medications can have side effects that may cause restlessness or irritability in babies.
If your baby continues to have difficulty sleeping or seems unusually uncomfortable, it may be worth following up with your pediatrician for further evaluation. They may suggest other remedies like gentle gum massages, teething rings, or even a different approach to soothing your baby. Also, ensure your baby’s environment is conducive to sleep, with a quiet, dark, and comfortable room.
