Hi A. D
I have used Humphrey's brand, you sometimes have to ask for it in the pharmacy, It's over the counter. They do not make the tooth ache go away but help relax the little one for a better night sleep. They have natural herbs and camimelle in them. They are also great for ear aches or a restless child. They are little white pills very tiny that dissolve in their mouth almost immediately. Our ped. recommended them.
Good luck

I used them and Im not totally sure they worked - but I can say that they worked better than any numbing gel or anything else. They just seemed to calm him down a little more - I dont know if they help with the pain or not. And one more thing, they only "worked" with the easy teeth, they didnt help at all with the back ones. Oh, the brand Im not sure but they were the homeopathic teething tablets - they sell them at healthfood stores, and even now Ive seen them at Walgreens. Hope this helps :)

Hi A.
Yes, we did use teething tablets when my DS was young. Hylands Teething Tablets....bought them at Walgreens. I would absolutely recommend them (unless your daughter has a dairy allergy)
They helped my son manage his teething pain. They dissolve almost immediately so there is NO risk of choking
Hope this helps

We use Hyland's Teething Tablets. I've seen them in Publix and Walgreens. Yesterday I decided to try the Gentle Naturals Teething Liquid. It had a long list of homeopathic ingredients so I figured lets try it. Well, I haven't seen my little man so happy in a long time. It must really work for him. Also, there is a Hyland's Teething Gel that puts the chamomile directly on the gums, its on sale at Walgreens for $3. The only thing about the teething liquid, it has sodium benzoate and citric acid, two ingredients that when found together in soda, create benzene. I would imagine the amounts couldn't be harmful or they wouldn't call the stuff Gentle Naturals if it had cancer causing benzene in it, right?
Anyway I recommend Hylands tablets.

I think you are talking about Humphreys #3. They work very well. (don’t expect miracles ) You should be able to get it at any pharmacy. It is over the counter but you usually have to ask for it. For some reason they don't put them out. It is supposedly all natural.
Good luck.
