Bonjela? Orased gel? Infant Panadol? Infant Nurofen? Which of these, or others is most effective in controlling pain assosciated with infants teething?
My seven month old son has cut his bottom two front teeth, see below, and is in the process of cutting four more. He is so difficult to handle, but hes only seven months old and I feel so sorry for him.
I have been putting bonjela on him constantly and at night he may get panadol, on alternate days.
I also give him an iced teething ring to chew on, but he cant have rusk sticks as they contain milk powder and he is allergic to milk.
Any advice guys?

I am used to the old fashion teething ring. Its possible to do rum or whiskey but I wouldnt trust it. my mom used it on my sisters and it turned out fine. I would test it and put a little on his teething ring to see how he reacts to it.

I've heard that Orejel is good and wet, cold rag does the trick.

After having 5 children, we have tried many different ways to help with teething, we found the best thing to use is nelsons teething granules, also its homeopathic, I hope this helps. Good luck :)
