Ibuprofen : Try over the counter medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Follow the instructions on the box to determine the correct dose for her weight. Please limit the use of tooth numbing medications that you rub on the gums, because it is easy to overdose those medications.

Ibuprofen: Ibuprofen (Advil (ibuprofen) and Motrin) are good anti-inflammatory pain relievers that are safe to use every 6-8 hours for a few days. The usual dose is 100 mg for every 22 pounds, or 10 mg/kg per dose.
