Quite often, teething in children is accompanied by many unpleasant symptoms. Mothers try in any way to relieve the pain of the child. They immediately go to the pharmacy to buy the right medicine. Quite often, Kamistad gel is used when teething. It helps the baby cope with pain.
Painkillers
First, you can use traditional medicine. Prepare a decoction of chamomile, which will not only disinfect the child's mouth, but also calm his nerves. If your baby is not allergic, add a little honey to this infusion, and then he will drink it with pleasure. Propolis has an analgesic effect. From it you can make a water tincture and wipe your child's gums with it. In case of fever and loose stools, give the baby one of the children's antipyretics. It can be "Paracetomol", "Nurofen", "Ibuprofen", "Panadol" and others. You can also use the means of local influence. One of the mostknown are "Kamistad" (gel for children), "Dentinoks", "Kalgel". They contain lidocaine, which has an analgesic effect. "Kamistad" during teething can be given to babies from three months. It was highly acclaimed by buyers and received many positive reviews.
Using "Kamistad"
This medicine contains chamomile tincture and lidocaine. It is used not only for eruption of milk and molars, but also for stomatitis, gingivitis, herpes, while wearing braces and in some orthodontic procedures. This remedy cannot be called a drug. "Kamistad" for teething is used in combination with other medicines.
Can babies use the gel?
"Kamistad" is used from a young age. However, recently another instruction for the use of this drug has appeared. It says that Kamistad is not recommended for children under three months of age. And even for those who are older, you can not give it more than three times a day. There are opinions according to which Kamistad should not be used for children under 12 at all.
How should mothers be in such a situation? The answer to this question can be found on the official website of the manufacturer. He explains the problem in this way: The company "Stada" - the official representative of this drug in the countries that are part of the European Union - has decidedchange the instructions for this drug. This is due to the fact that the norm for the content of lidocaine in preparations that are intended for children has been revised. "Kamistad" was re-registered, and after that the instruction changed in accordance with the new rules established by the manufacturing country - Germany. Now this gel cannot be used to treat children who have not reached 12 years of age. In addition, the composition of this drug has not changed at all. Therefore, before using "Kamistad" when teething a child who is not yet 12 years old, you must first seek the advice of a doctor. Most likely, he will prescribe a gel that contains less lidocaine. After all, this substance has many side effects. These are allergies, intestinal disorders and many others.
