The time when a child's first teeth erupt often gives adults a lot of trouble. The symptoms of teething are quite unpleasant, and many babies during this period become moody and irritable, sleep poorly at night, refuse to eat. It is quite possible for adults to alleviate the painful condition of a child – there are ways for this, proven over the years.The appearance of the first teeth normally begins to erupt at the age of about six months, although deviations in timing are possible both in one direction and in the other. The central incisors appear first: first the lower ones, then the upper ones. After that, the lateral incisors erupt, followed by molars, and last of all, canines. By the age of two, the baby should already have 20 teeth. Teething in children in most cases is accompanied by changes in their behavior and well-being, which it is simply impossible not to pay attention to.The main symptoms of teething are as follows: the baby becomes tearful and restless; it shows that he is experiencing discomfort. He eats poorly: greedily grabbing a nipple or breast, immediately releases it from his mouth. The reason is inflamed gums, which cause pain to the baby: unpleasant sensations can be quite strong. It is generally believed that it is most difficult for a child to tolerate the appearance of the first teeth, but this is not always the case. Harder than other baby teeth, canines often erupt, which normally grow by 18-20 months.The baby has salivation during teething – often so severe that a rash on the chin may even appear, and the temperature often rises. Parents should not worry: in most cases, an increase in temperature during teething does not pose any danger. Homeopathic Viburcol candles bring relief to many children – they have a mild analgesic, soothing and antipyretic effect. However, if the temperature increase is observed for more than three days, or it rises above + 38 degrees, the child should be shown to a doctor. Babies at this time become more vulnerable, their immunity decreases. Therefore, cases when teething in children is accompanied by other diseases, in particular colds, unfortunately, are not uncommon. To reduce high fever in infants and one-year-olds, paracetamol or nurofen (ibuprofen) is usually used.How to relieve the pain of teething, you can accelerate teething in children in traditional ways by giving the baby carrots, crackers, pieces of hard apple, bagels. Modern remedies will help alleviate unpleasant sensations – special gels that are supposed to lubricate the gums several times a day. They have a local analgesic effect, in addition, they help reduce inflammation that occurs during teething in children. When choosing a dental gel for a baby, pay attention to its composition. If your child is allergic, you should not buy him a product with flavors. Gels containing lidocaine should also be treated with caution.Special teething toys made of rubber, plastic or silicone will also help alleviate the symptoms of teething. They can be solid or hollow inside – you can pour water into them; their surface is usually uneven, with small grooves or bumps. Before giving the baby teethers with water, they are put in the refrigerator for a few minutes: the cold reduces pain, and the child will chew the cool toy with his gums with pleasure. Ideally, it is better to have several of them in order to disinfect them in turn. Teethers should be stored in a closed container after processing.Parents of infants should not immediately tune in to difficulties: many babies have teeth that erupt almost imperceptibly. Perhaps, in your case, everything will be limited to a slight nervousness of the child and one or two restless nights. However, even if you have to face the difficulties described above, you will already know how to help your baby.
