When children's teeth are emerging, various diseases can affect them, causing both physical and mental distress. They may face various issues such as fever, cough, vomiting, eye or head pain, and sometimes pain throughout the body. This can make children irritable, crying, and experiencing greenish-yellow diarrhea. Not only the child but also family members are distressed during this time. It is essential not to overdose the child with medications, as excessive consumption is not considered beneficial. Carefully provide only the necessary medicines mentioned in this article to help the child stay healthy and aid in the eruption of their teeth. Treatment for Easy Teething
