🦷 Soothing teething troubles
Sore gums may respond to simple comfort; significant illness is not just teething.
What's the game plan?
1. What to prepare
Offer a clean chilled—not frozen—teether or gently massage the gum with a clean finger.
2. What to check
Avoid amber necklaces and unprescribed numbing gels. Ask a pharmacist about suitable pain relief; seek care for fever or an unwell baby.
