Dental Insurance Plus – Teething
Question: What can you do to ease teething pain?
Reply: You can give your baby a cold teething ring or frozen washcloth. You can also rub your baby’s teeth and gums with a clean finger. You may want to use Baby Orajel to help numb baby’s gums. And you can also ask you doctor for some baby Tylenol.
However what you never want to do is give your baby any aspirin. Since aspirin may cause Reye’s syndrome which is a serious illness. While the cause of Reye’s syndrome still remains unknown, there as been some research done that has established a link between Reye’s Syndrome and the use of aspirin. It has been advise by the U.S. Surgeon General, and the American Academy of Pediatrics that aspirin and combination products containing aspirin not be given to children under 19.
