Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't believe there are any unless you have it compounded. I'm admittedly not a huge fan of pain relievers for minor things like cutting teeth. What about frozen drinks/foods to help numb it, like homemade slushies with legal juice? I bought a snow cone machine and the kids love it. I just drizzle a little grape juice over the shaved ice. Would he chew on any of the teethers or a wet, then frozen, wash cloth?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 To help your baby with his or her discomfort, you can give them a teething ring. Many teething rings can be chilled in the refrigerator which can soothe the pain of cutting teeth. Allowing your baby to chew on something will help to break down the gum which will help the teeth to emerge. Many babies also like to chew on wet, chilled wash clothes, or have their gums rubbed with the pad of a finger.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 We had our compounding pharmacy make up a batch of ibuprofen suppositories in a soy-free base. It was about $35 for 90, they'll last a few years (though the pharmacy " officially " had to date them to expire in a month, they said they'd be good for a year or two). Prior to using these we used commercial aceteminophen suppositories, but now we avoid aceteminophen. Since most pain/fever reducers are irritating to the gut, it's better to avoid oral administration. And, most of the OTC brands have illegals in them. Once, on a weekend when our regular compounding pharmacy was closed, we had a regular pharmacy try to compound us some ibuprofen powder in plain water with no flavoring. They did it for us, but the powder sat like a brick in the bottom of the bottle, you had to shake it like a madman to get it into solution to put in an oral syringe. When I sampled some myself it was like swallowing tiny shards of glass. I only gave it to my son orally one time when we were desperate - he had a very high fever - and I will never again.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 a, Have you tried a little oral gel to numb the pain? Advil would be worse than using tylenol as it is known to irritate the gut in normal people. charlene I do use teethers during the day but he is up every 20 minutes at night.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sorry, that last line didn't come out quite the way I meant it to. Any kind of NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, like Advil) will cause gut irritations even in those who have no bowel issues at all. So I meant to say, " ... even in normal people let alone those who have troubles with their bowel. " Hope that clarifies things. Charlene a, Have you tried a little oral gel to numb the pain?
