Is It Ok To Give Zytee Gel, Crocin To A 10 Month Old Baby As Prescribed For Discomfort In Gums Due To Teething?
hi
My daughter is 10 months old and cut her 1st tooth last week. Since then, she has stopped eating solids and takes just milk in the entire day. She is very active and passes urine and stool normally. She does not like cerelac or mashed rice and veggies or eggs. just takes half a roti depending on her mood.
She has also started crying quite a lot and becomes quite cranky at times.
Doc has recommended crocin twice a day and zytee gel on gums before meals. is it ok to give or would calcareaphos suffice.

its ok if you applly zytee on gums a few munutes before feeding.this will reduce the pain and child will be able to eat.however paracetamol can be hold and give sos means if required.
also can give teether which is clean,unbreakable,does not hurt and its colour does not come out.at the time of teeth eruption due to sensation child is some time cranky and feels better on chewing upon something.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that your 10 month child, has broken her tooth, and had infection, and pain, hence she could not eat any hard food.
I advise you to consult a dentist, for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, mefanamic acid,syrups. It is important to use a systemic antibiotic to cure the injury upto the root of the tooth and in short time.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
