Teething can be painful. Red cheeks, drooling and irritability are all normal symptoms of teething.
A low-grade fever may also be associated with teething, but a high-grade fever, diarrhea and vomiting are not normal symptoms of teething. A consult with your health professional is advised.
Use a finger cot, a cool teething ring, or a clean cool damp washcloth for your child to chew on when teething. Teething biscuits containing sugar are not recommended.
Use of a pain reliever recommended by your health professional may be used, but TEETHING GELS can be dangerous and are not recommended.
