2Q's: Low temperature and teething powders, etc

Thanks for the advice ladies - I'll be sure to try them out. Would love a little more sleep tonight, but I certainly don't want to overdose Emma in order to get some. Shame, you should see how she sucks her cheeks in! Poor thing!

Hi Beatrice

For teething issues I use Tissue Salts for my little guy. (completly natural and safe)

I use salt number 2 (calc. phos). I crush the tablet with a little water (you could even mix it with a teething gel) and rub it onto his gums. You can use tissue salts as often as every 15 minutes if need be. You can also look for the Combination R mix which releives the itchiness and pain.

I really find with constant use it helps!

Manz don't feel bad! I squirted a little Karvol ampule into Dylan's eye by mistake so none of us are prefect. They actually work well too. I used to empty one on a cloth and put it near Dylan.

Ok so now I feel bad that I have been using Karvol Thanks Julz and Claire- I will look at Dischem again, though I may have to ask for those two.

Please don't feel bad, there are so many things we all do that is not totally correct, you do what you can with the information you have.

I will look out for it.

It is NAZO nasal something - really works for a full 6 or 7 hours (I have used it myself in desperation.

If you want something to rub on the chest, then Pulma Balm is okay for babies. Vicks is very strong and can cause convultions is a young toddlers and Karvol can feel a bit like Deep Heat feels on an adult - causes a burning sensation on the chest of some babies
