Teething order
Is your baby about to turn 6 months old and are you noticing some anxiety in his behavior? This is natural, because the time of teething comes. And this is a difficult period in a child’s life.
The timing of teething in children can vary widely. Normally, the first teeth begin to appear closer to 6 months.
But it happens that baby teeth erupt earlier or much later. And there is nothing terrible here; this process is associated with the constitutional characteristics of the child.
- If you follow the pattern of teething in children, the central incisors on the lower jaw appear first. This usually occurs at 6-10 months.
- The upper central incisors appear at 8-12 months, and the first molars at 13-19 months.
- The canines “wake up” last – by 16-22 months.
- By the age of 2, a child usually already has 20 teeth, and from 6 to 12 years, baby teeth are gradually replaced by permanent teeth.
- Wisdom teeth do not have a milky version and appear in late adolescence.

Teeth from birth? It happens
In exceptional cases, children are born with teeth. As a rule, we are talking about the lower incisors. They are called (neo)natal teeth. They erupt within 30 days. Their root is mobile, not formed, and often such teeth quickly fall out.
This feature is fixed genetically - as a rule, the parents had the same thing, a characteristic picture is observed in the baby’s brothers and sisters. Doctors suggest removing such teeth to prevent them from entering the respiratory tract. But this is not a mandatory procedure, at the discretion of the parents.
Teething symptoms
The appearance of teeth causes some discomfort in children, which affects their behavior and general condition. In the support chat for the online course “For Every Mom,” we will look in more detail at the main symptoms and means of helping the child and mother. May this period pass as calmly as possible for you.
Teething has accompanying symptoms that will help you understand the cause of these changes:
- Salivation
- Irritation and rash around the mouth
- Change in stool (usually loosening)
- Runny nose
- Temperature increase
- Anxiety
- Moodiness
- Sleep disturbance
This process is not fast. Discomfort may occur several days before gum eruption. If this stage is delayed, they speak of difficult eruption.
There is no reliable information about why the temperature rises during teething in children. It can be assumed that this is a preventive protective reaction of the body. After all, as a result of teething, a tooth creates a wound in the gum, and the body proactively turns on a protective mechanism in the form of inflammation and an increase in temperature. This is necessary to prevent infection of the wound surface...
How to choose a teething remedy
The eruption of baby teeth is a physiological process that usually begins around 4-6 months of a child’s life and ends at about two and a half years. Regularly occurring symptoms of teething: restlessness (especially at night), increased salivation, itching, swelling and soreness of the gums. Any mother, naturally, wants to make this period of development easier for the child, relieve pain in the gums, and reduce the likelihood of sleepless nights. Therefore, mothers very often ask doctors questions: what to do when teething and how to help the child?
There are several solution options with their advantages and disadvantages:
1. Homeopathic remedies.
On the one hand, ingestion of diluted chamomile and other herbal ingredients will calm the baby, however, from the point of view of scientific medicine, they are unlikely to have any direct effect on the gums.
| 2. Systemic pain relievers (eg paracetamol, ibuprofen) They are safer, but they will also act on the baby’s body in general, and not on the gums. 3. Gels based on lidocaine or benzocaine These are local anesthetics that have an analgesic effect during teething. But there are several nuances: • Firstly, with frequent use, lidocaine and benzocaine can have a toxic effect on the body of a small child. In 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported 22 cases of severe adverse events to 2% lidocaine gels in children under 3 years of age. Side effects of lidocaine included respiratory distress, decreased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and convulsions. That is why the Department has imposed a ban on gels with high levels of it. • Secondly, age restrictions: usually from 3 or 6 months. If your baby starts teething early, these medications will not help him. In addition, such gels can have a very specific taste, and the baby may completely refuse to use it again. |
4. Gels based on natural extracts without synthetic anesthetics
These gels are based on extracts that have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiseptic effects.
For example, the new Italian gel for gums Dentinale® natura with herbal ingredients: aloe vera juice, boswellia and chamomile extracts, will help postpone the teething period without resorting to analgesics and anesthetics.
Dentinale® natura has a mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect. The gel does not contain :
• synthetic painkillers
• sugar
• parabens
It is almost impossible to overdose on such a drug, it is harmless if swallowed, side effects are not described and theoretically can only be associated with individual intolerance to the components of the gel.
Pleasant to the taste and has no age restrictions.
Easy teething and good nights!

How to make teething easier
- First of all, it is necessary to remain calm and reassure the child that everything is under control and soon his suffering will end.
- Teething is accompanied by itching in the gums, which forces the child to chew on any hard objects. Provide him with clean and safe teethers - special rings, toys, rags.
- Cold significantly relieves pain and itching in the inflamed gums. You can pre-cool the teether in the freezer, apply ice wrapped in a cloth or bandage for a short time.
In medicine, during teething, special gels are actively used, which are applied to the gums at the site of inflammation: “Cholisal”, “Dentinox”, “Kalgel”... All of them have a local anesthetic effect. And any anesthesia has a detrimental effect on the body, suppressing its defenses.
However, you can ease your child’s suffering while strengthening his immunity. Homeopathy will help you with this. This method is very effective and safe for the baby.
Chamomilla
- A child in the Hamomilla state is capricious and irritable. He kicks, bites, fights, asks to be carried.
- He may demand one toy or another, but having received what he wants, he instantly loses interest in it and throws it away. Malaise is accompanied by outbursts of anger.
- The condition worsens at night, better from motion sickness (in the car, in a stroller). Strong-smelling, green, lumpy stools. A characteristic detail is that one cheek may be red and the other pale. The head sweats profusely, the sweat is hot.
Calcarea carbonica
- Children of this type are well-fed, chubby, but have flabby muscles. During sleep, the Calcarea child's head sweats, especially the back of the head. Sweat has a sour smell.
- These are children with late teething; the teething process itself is long. Such disorders are associated with calcium deficiency, which is poorly absorbed in this constitution.
- Tendency to frequent colds and ear infections. A passionate desire for eggs (especially soft-boiled ones), cheese and milk, as well as sweets is a sure sign of a calcareous child.
- He is worse in cold damp weather, better in warmth.
Homeopathy for babies
Medicines for Infants Dosage: Take 4 -5 granules three or four times a day or, if the pain is very severe, at intervals of half an hour to an hour. If the patient's condition improves, reduce the frequency of dosing: stop taking the medicine when a reliable improvement in the condition is achieved.

A hoarse voice is one of the signs of laryngitis in a child
14.09.2021
Laryngitis in a child is a common viral infection that tends to recur. This mainly applies to young children,
because a child's larynx is more susceptible to infection and swells more easily than an adult's larynx due to its location and anatomical
buildings. This is usually a minor illness, but in some cases severe acute laryngitis may develop, which may
be life-threatening. Learn about the symptoms of laryngitis in children and how it is treated.
Laryngitis in a child - causes
The disease is caused by viruses, most often: parainfluenza virus, influenza A or B virus, adenovirus, RS virus, metapneumovirus.
There are also cases of bacterial infections, for example, during complications after an untreated cold. As a consequence, there is
damage to the mucous membrane, swelling around the larynx and narrowing of the airway. The disease usually develops in the 1st and 4th quarters
year is a period of increased viral activity, worsening weather conditions and intense heating of apartments. Warm and dry air
promotes the development of infections.
Laryngitis is usually mild and associated with high fever, infection and breathing problems, but is not life-threatening.
The most common type is subglottic laryngitis. It should not be confused with acute diphtheria laryngitis caused by the diphtheria bacillus.
However, life-threatening conditions may include: acute laryngitis and epiglottitis, which are manifested by a large tumor that interferes with breathing.
Why is this happening? Sensitive larynx in a child
Laryngitis and severe complications occur in young children because their airways are slightly different from those of adults.
The submucosa of the larynx in children is looser and contains many blood and lymphatic vessels , which makes it more prone to edema ;
the socket of the larynx is located much higher, the larynx is smaller, the epiglottis is flaccid, and the immune system is not yet formed. All this is done by the larynx in children
vulnerable to infections.
Laryngitis in a child - symptoms
Subglottic laryngitis in children occurs between 5 and 6 months of age, with the greatest incidence in the second year of life. Boys are more likely to get it
type of infection than girls, and affects about 6-8% of children under 5 years of age each year.
Symptoms of laryngitis in children appear suddenly and are preceded by several days of respiratory infections. Most often occurs at night or in the morning, and
symptoms may vary in severity, from mild inflammation, including an intermittent barking cough and hoarseness, to severe inflammation,
requiring emergency assistance.
Symptoms:
• The so-called stridor is a high-pitched sound when breathing due to a narrowing of the airway. • Characteristic barking cough. • Hoarseness. • Rude voice, even silence. • Mild to moderate shortness of breath. • Possible slight fever.
Acute symptoms of subglottic laryngitis:
• Severe shortness of breath, accompanied by increased work of the pectoral muscles. • Blue skin color. • Anxiety. • Impaired consciousness. • Breathing problems.
Narrowing of the airway in the subglottic region can quickly increase and cause severe shortness of breath, so should not be underestimated
infection, but appropriate treatment must be provided as soon as possible. The disease varies in intensity, and the symptoms of laryngitis
in children, initially harmless, can quickly worsen and cause respiratory failure.
Laryngitis in a child - treatment at home
Although the symptoms of laryngitis in children can be worrying, most cases are mild and can be treated well with
using home remedies. What will be effective for childhood laryngitis? Care should be taken to create an atmosphere of calm, because nervousness and
tension will increase the child's fear, which - based on the vicious circle effect - will increase shortness of breath and respiratory failure. To prevent
increased shortness of breath, it is useful to inhale cold, moist air, which reduces swelling of the larynx. It is recommended to open the window wide or remove
take the child to the terrace/balcony and let him breathe in the fresh, cool air. You should remember to dress your baby correctly so as not to catch a cold.
Another way to treat mild laryngitis in a child is to inhale saline and drink drinks. After the attack
shortness of breath stops, you should contact your pediatrician for effective treatment for laryngitis. The doctor knows best what to use to treat the larynx
child and what treatment will be most effective in each case. He will likely prescribe corticosteroids or other medications
to reduce swelling of the larynx.
