Anbesol

Can't you just give calpol? That's what I just had to do today as my boy is really struggling too. It's horrible isn't it.

Tried calpol and does nothing for him unfortunately

Maybe try nurofen, I think ibuprofen might be more effective for teething pains. My boy has settled with calpol luckily.

I should have said, we’ve also tried that! Nothing is helping him we’ve tried Ashton and parsons too. His teeth are showing at the bottom but just won’t pop through

@Tilly thanks, did you find the anbesol helps??

I had a quick look at the info and it says from 5 months but doesn't say why particularly (which I wouldn't expect it to). I would guess that's because they have only tested children from that age. In the information it discusses a 5 month old at 5kgs and doesn't mention any about younger children or weights. I personally wouldn't be concerned if your baby is over 5kgs already. Otherwise maybe look at the information to just check you are ok with the side effects risks- you can search on goggle for the patient information leaflet if you don't have one.

@Marianne thank you! He’s 7kg so I think I’ll just give it a go
