Calpol

Just after a bit of reassurance. Feel like I’ve been using calpol every night before bed for a few weeks. Not to make her sleep because luckily she sleeps well. But if it’s not a cold she is teething then she has a cold and now she’s teething again. Just worried about the use of it.

Have you tried teething Powder's or gel with her instead of calpol when teething?
I have been there myself recently its the time of year also.
I only use calpol for teething on the worse 2 or 3 days for temp control x

Calpol is a drug which the liver has to get rid of. It really should only be used if necessary. Ashton and parsons teething powder or anbesol liquid are great for teething and not as nasty on the body as paracetamol x

Thanks for the responses mamas..

Just spoken to a pharmacist and a GP and once a day usage is so minimal it’s fine so if anyone is in the same boat as me and needs that bit of reassurance as well.
Obviously advice is not to give if not needed and not exceed the recommended doses.
