We’re def teething and going through a patch of waking up in hysterics, what can I do to help, besides calpol & ibuprofen, which we’re doing when we can get it in him. So sad seeing him so upset 😩

Ashton and parsons powders.
Cooled teethers, nearly frozen muslins.

Do you use the powder even on a 2 year old? Not sure I can convince him to let me put my finger in his mouth, but I’ll try

Wet a dummy and put it on, or on a clean finger and rub on his gum?

Deffo teething and not something else? Ie ear infection? Sometimes that presents the same... red cheeks, irritable, rubbing cheeks/ears

Anbesol (might need to check age guidance) that also numbs gums etc. Doesnt taste very nice but again dab on clean fingrr and straight on to gums.

Or bonjela..

Thank you 🙏

Have you tried Difflam? It contains a local anaesthetic. We use it for teething (as well as sore throats).
