Pain reliever for baby teething?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

During teething, the most common recommendation for restlessness and pain in babies is acetaminophen (paracetamol)-based syrups appropriate to the baby's age and weight. Ibuprofen can also be used in babies over six months.

However, which brand, dosage, and frequency to use depends on the baby's weight and health status. For this reason, before using pain reliever for the first time, always consult a pediatrician and read the instructions on the package. Dosage should not be calculated at home; it should be determined by a doctor or pharmacist.

Non-medication methods also help with teething pain: chilled (not frozen) teething ring, gentle gum massage with a clean and cold cloth, plenty of opportunities to nurse. While these don't completely relieve the pain, they can be comforting.

If your baby has fever above 38°C, diarrhea, or rash, this may not just be related to teeth — I recommend visiting a healthcare facility.
