In pharmacies you can buy various drugs to improve the condition of a child during teething: both drugs for oral administration and for external use. Today we’ll talk about gels for gums.

Many parents buy such products on the advice of friends or based on reviews from moms on forums. But it is better to consult a pediatrician before purchasing a painkiller, because only a doctor can take into account all the individual characteristics of your baby’s body and choose a truly effective and safe remedy.

Traumeel S against discomfort

Traumeel C gel

The medication is mostly used to suppress pain due to bumps, sprains and bruises. But, if there is no other remedy at hand, Traumeel can be used to relieve discomfort due to diseased teeth, but only for a short time. To do this, apply 1 cm of gel using a bandage or directly onto the sore gum and tooth and gently rub it into the affected area. The ointment may sting slightly for a while, but the discomfort should not be significant. If it lasts more than 5-7 minutes, it is better to rinse your mouth to prevent the development of an allergic reaction in the form of swelling of the oral mucosa or larynx. You should not apply the ointment more than twice during the day. Treatment should not be continued for more than 3 days. If an application is used, it must be kept on the affected area for no more than 20 minutes.

Attention! Traumeel is classified as a homeopathic medicine, which allows it to be used by virtually all patients. But since it is designed to suppress other types of pain and is not intended for application to mucous membranes, the ointment should not be used to treat patients with hypersensitivity, children and elderly patients over 65 years of age.

Kalgel

You can buy "Kalgel" only with a doctor's prescription, since this drug contains a powerful anesthetic - lidocaine, and it should be used with caution in small children, an overdose is dangerous. "Kalgel" is prescribed in difficult cases of teething in children, when weaker drugs do not have an effect. The gel also contains cetylpyridinium chloride - it disinfects and relieves inflammation due to bacterial infection. Kalgel has a powerful and long-lasting effect, but it is very important to observe the frequency of use and dosage.

Argosulfan against toothache

Argosulfan is antibacterial, so it has a fairly powerful effect

This drug is also antibacterial, therefore it has a rather powerful effect not only on the diseased tooth and gum itself, but also on the entire body. It should be used only in exceptional cases when nothing else is simply at hand. The ointment must be used in the form of an application. To do this, squeeze out 0.5-1 cm of ointment onto a sterile swab, which is applied to the sore spot for 10-20 minutes. Such compresses can be used only twice a day for 3-4 days. Do not use to treat children and elderly patients over 65 years of age.

Attention! Since this ointment is a fairly strong antibiotic that can be used to heal bedsores and ulcers on the body, you should not thoughtlessly apply it to your teeth. It is intended exclusively for local use and, if ingested, can cause poisoning and problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
