I'm not sure if these really work, but have you thought about those natural remedy lollipops? (maybe they are just rip offs, i don't know). My 18mth old DD will not take any kind of pain relief, and I have tried EVERY KIND (but i will not subject her to suppositories) and if you can get it in her mouth, she will throw it straight back up, which means I have to spend a night with a tepid sponge to reduce her fever. I feel for you both!!

cheers, sherieb
