Tips to Help Children Who Are Teething
A baby will usually start teething anywhere between three months and eighteen months old. These are just some of the symptoms to watch for: running a slight temperature, excessive drooling, gums appear slightly discolored, a constant need to rub the gums. This is a stressful time for the child and the parent. Here are some of the things you can do to help yourself and your child through this time. A fever reducer for infants can be used to help with any fever. Put a wet wash cloth in your freezer overnight. In the morning add some water to the washcloth and give it to the child. The cold wash cloth will feel good on the gums and help with the excessive drooling. A pain reliving swab for the child’s gums and a gentle gum massage will also help provide temporary relief. Always consult the child’s Pediatrician for any questions or problems.
