Hello. Our baby is teething; the teeth aren't quite emerging from the gums yet, but they are moving within the gums, and it's clear that by evening the baby is in a lot of pain, becoming very fussy and sometimes even hysterical. I can give Nurofen a couple of times a week at night. I've been doing this for 2 weeks, every 2-3 days, and sometimes several nights in a row, up to a maximum of 3 nights. Is this harmful? I've heard that it can be given every 6 hours, but I don't do that. How long can I safely give Nurofen without causing harm by doing it this way?

Hello! It is not recommended to give Nurofen every 6 hours, as this can lead to an excess of the medication in the body and negative consequences. It is recommended to adhere to the dosage and frequency instructions provided on the medication package. If your little one is experiencing severe pain due to teething, Nurofen can be given as needed, but no more than 3 times a day. It is also important to pay attention to the overall condition of the child and consult a doctor if necessary. If the pain does not subside or becomes too intense, it is better to consult a pediatrician for the prescription of more effective treatment or additional recommendations.

It's not very good overall. Try Viburcol suppositories. We're currently dealing with teething. During the day, I distract them as best as I can, using cold teething rings. At night, Viburcol suppositories. They only help during the discomfort stage, itching, and mild pain. If the tooth is about to come through, they stop working and I switch to Nurofen. The active phase of teething for the older one usually lasted 3-4 days. The little one is still in the discomfort stage, but you can already see them.

I gave Nurofen only when she was crying a lot non-stop at night; during the day, I sometimes applied Holisal gel.
