poorly baby

denois

my poor little boy is poorly! i think he is teething! his temp went past 38c today and yesterday and today he was not himself! hes been cryin lots and wakin up after 20min naps! hes also woken a lot during the night! im so tired but all i care about is gettin my little boy better!
we have been lucky cos we have never had problems with teeth before but now its hit hard!
iv given him calpol and lots of drinks and cuddles but what else can i do to make him more comfotable? he also keeps biting his lip its bled twice when hes done it:-(

aww, poor little fella- Im dealing with the same thing with Evie atm. Have you tried neurofen as you can use that as well as calpol, as neurofen is every 6 hours and calpol is every 4 hours, and as the neurofen is an anti inflammatory it works better for teething than calpol. Also, as an absolute last resort, you could put a cotton bud dipped in whisky or brandy onto where its sore, it might help.. As for the chapped lip, vaseline will help... Hope he feels better soon. xx
