Suggest Remedies For Pain In Gums Before Teething In Child
hi, i think my 6 month old baby is teething. he keeps putting his hand in his mouth, drools a lot and has become very cranky. he cries a lot at night. seems like he is in pain. i tried giving him cool washcloth to chew on and even tried massaging his gums with my fingers but it works only for a short period of time and he goes back to crying. anything i can do to help him ease the pain?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Other ideas: Over the counter topical anesthetics made specifically for teething. If all fails, you can use a dose of Ibuprofin.
