A member asked:
My niece is almost 4 months and is teething is it safe to give a baby her age oragel teething gel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment overratted: Teething is a subject that gets many parents very anxious. I am of the opinion that over the counter meds treat parents more than the infant. I recommend cold teething pacifiers or toys. Teething is universally benign and may only require gum massage or teething toys-not meds.
