Right best remedies and ideas for extreme teething and the cold that goes with it please ladies,…

I don't like doing it but have done when teething or illness has been really bad. Rotate Calpol and Nurofen every 2hrs. So Calpol then 2hrs later Nurofen, 2hrs later Calpol again. Obviously no more the 4doses in 24hrs. And I usually try and only do this later afternoon until bedtime so hopefully it helps with sleep.

@sara-lou86, yes I had to do this last week as emergency doctor advised it when she had a virus. But last night was horrendous, I gave her nurofen at 8pm then again at 12 midnight then at half 2 gave her calpol as I was running out of ideas to help her. Nothing seemed to work, when I googled the dosage for her weight 10kg it says 5ml like a 1year old, (she's 10.5 months) so maybe I should be giving her 5ml instead of 2.5ml of nurofen, cause obviously their weight has a bearing not just age, god I hope she naps today we are both exhausted, like you say I wouldn't want to start the nurofen/calpol staggering until towards bedtime. Must of blanked all this out with Harvey, can't remember it being so bad lol I'm back at work next week too, it's going to kill me leaving her etc and getting though work after a night like this x

Yeh if Max has a bad night I always dread work the next day but actually while I'm working it's ok. Its when I stop I'm exhausted. Maybe she's cutting a tooth now which is the worst part. Hopefully she'll sleep better tonight.

@sara-lou86, yeah I can see a bulge top right so I'm hoping to see it through she's got her bottom two and they were no bother lol..are any if your boys in nursery and have you sent them when you've had to go to work and they are like this??

Oh she didn't like the teethin ring then sorry hun think u might have to put up with it till her tooth pops out 🙈x

@suzannecamilleri26, aw I know Hun and thanks I was desperate lol she flung it in the dark and it went down the side of the cot lol I know it's a case of suffering through lol

Have u tryed a amber braclets??everyone speaks about them I dnt understand how they work but mayed ask around as lot of ppl say they work hun x

@suzannecamilleri26, oh I forgot I bought the necklace it's in the drawer but I'm really sceptical as I don't want to leave it on her unsupervised i.e. In her cot at night but I might try for daytime thanks x

I used anbesol and bickie pegs when my son was teething, only things he'd actually have.

To be honest I can't understand how they work but it's worth a try x

@beffgoude did anbseol work as I no that it taste horrible??was gonna get my daughter it but wasn't to shore x

@suzannecamilleri26 I actually like the taste of it haha, and it worked wonders for when my wisdom teeth were coming in. Just numbs it all, I found it better than teething gel on Brody and easier to get in his gums too! xx

Eww 😂😂taste nasty I think think they used to use it in the olden days god I sound old now 😂😂x

Yeh if it's just common cold/cough or teething they still go to nursery. I still have to work so don't wanna take time off unless their really poorly. I loose a days pay but still have to pay for their nursery day lol

@sara-lou86, thanks yeah she's just been for a visit there and she was fine just really snotty and flaked out in the car on way home, I'll just get some calpol prescribed from doctor do if she ever is bad they can give her some. Xxx
