Additive Colour free pain relief options which is best to use?

That's interesting Minny, thanks for that info. I will have to go have a look for some next time we are out of town. I used it years ago when DD was little. It knocked her out for a ridiculous amount of time, something like 14 hours i think?? And i didn't even give her a full dose!

wow 14hrs thats crazy....just googled there website and apparently they have one for day time which is non drowsy but do make a night time one with a bit of sedative in it

I just looked up a website and the reason it made her sleepy shall we say is because it contains codeine, promethazine (an antihistamine), and ethanol. It definately isn't colour free, and those sedating agents is probably why it isn't recommended for the under 2's. Was it the night time one you tried to buy from the chemist Nic because that may be the reason why they wouldn't sell it to you. I can PM you the website if you want as I don't know if I can post it here. It alsosays for use of moderate to severe pain only when paracetamol is not working.

The childrens pain stop unless otherwise indicated is colourfree i cant see where it says it contains promethazine in the childrens one? but does contain codeine as well as paracetemol

I guess if you are interested in trying it ask the chemist?

ah yep sorry was talking about the day time one lol

Hylands teething tablets definately worked for DD's 2 year molars.

Have heard good things about the amber necklaces to might try them with DS when we reach that stage if hes a bad teether like DD was.

I'd go the teething tablets the painstop sends my son loopy, he has reactions to some presevatives and colors and painstop is one thing I will not give him again ........

Seems the teething tablets are the go. I have never used them myself, but i will give them a go. Would they be strong enough for say.. 2 y.o molors though? Or apart from painstop, is there anything stronger on the market? Mayb a combination of the braurers mixture and the teething tablets would do the trick?

[Rach75]

jack never needed anything except for the eye teeth and we used the hylands definate way to go, have actually used them for other pain releif as well over panadol, I never given the quantity they say though I start with one if that doesn't work will give another
