Teething!!!!?
After the Orajel runs out, try using a toy that you can refrigerate or freeze. I find that works great. It's fine to use Orajel a few times a day, but as far as amount and how many times, you should call and ask your pediatrician.
Reply:Try teething tablets... or freeze a wet wash cloth and let him chew on it.
Reply:Motrin and cold rags to suck and bite on.
Reply:Rub an orange rind into his gums, it works 100% better than orejel or the equivalent. The acidic gets right into the gums and can't be licked away!


Also dependant on the age give him a painkiller, like panadol.
Reply:Tylenol, cold teething rings, homeopathic teething tablets under the tongue, Vaseline on red cheeks, and ask your son's dr. about how much orajel you can use.
Reply:You could always use something very cold. I know for my boys, I used to wet a wash cloth and stick it in the freezer for a little while just so that it was really cold, not frozen and this always seems to help a lot since they were always putting their hands in their mouth.





Also - you can get those teether rings that you can freeze and try that.





There's not a ton of stuff we can really do for them, but know that it doesn't seem to last too long for them. It's usually more off an on then a constant pain.





Good luck.
Reply:I always use Tylenol Infant Drops. Ask your pediatrician for the right dosage for your son. It lasts 4 to 6 hours. I've never had a problem and it makes my son feel better in about 30 minutes.
Reply:I use teething rings, tylenol, and teething tablets. I heard that the orange peel works but my Dr. said not to give my son any kind of citric foods until he is one. I would talk to his Dr. before trying that. Good luck!!
Reply:be very careful with "pain relievers" try the frozen wash cloth or frozen rings.
Reply:There is an oil you can get from the health food store that has some clove oil and other things in it that I have used with my 3 boys. You can use as much as you need with no bad side effects. You might want to ask someone who works there, but they usually have a kids section and I believe the one I used is called gumomielle.
Reply:I've learned using those teething rings that you freeze...They don't work too well...I have two little ones and my youngest just cut her 4 top teeth...(top two and the ones on the sides) The best thing that helped was putting her in her high chair with a banana falvored pop cicle with no sugar added!! She had fun and got messy haha..Also try getting some of those biter biscuits or the little easy to dissolve finger foods!! It got her through it..
Reply:My son loves a frozen washcloth. I am not sure how old your child is, but they say don't give Motrin until after 6 months old!
Reply:i've been told that too much orajel can cause the babie's gums to become tough, making it harder and more painful for the teeth to poke through, so i waited until my daughter's teeth poked through to give her orajel. i give her tylenol every four hours, and i bought some tablets at walmart. they are made by Hyland's. they are homeopathic, and they are used to ease pain and help with restlessness. i like them because they are 100% natural, and pretty cheap. Hyland's also makes cholic tablets.
Reply:My son's doctor told me not to use Oragel because it actually makes the skin tougher for the tooth to come in. I thought he was crazy but I talked to some other mom's and they also told me not to use it. Right now I'm using infants Tylenol and teething tablets. He can't hold a teething ring or anything yet so he kinda chews on his fist.
