HiJust want to check.  My 10 month old baby is teething and struggles to fall asleep at night and I want to know if its ok to give her Ponstan at night.  I only gove her 3ml before bedtime and during the day I use Prodol.Dont want her to become too dependant on it but it seems to be the only thing that helps her fall asleep.
Hi, I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that discomfort during teething is commonly seen with toddlers but giving medication to relieve pain is not acceptable until there is severe pain or fever. I would suggest you that in case if there is need of pain reliever you should prefer ProDOS that contains Acetaminophen and is safe. Phonemic acid present in Constant is commonly given if the toddlers does not get relief with Acetaminophen alone. You can consult a Periodontist and get evaluated in case of continuous severe pain. You can also do cool compresses over the gums to reduce inflammation and pain. Feed him with plenty of cool fluids and soft bland diet. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
