How to Use Hyland’s Teething Products
A: Hyland’s Teething Tablets and Teething Gel are formulated for babies of all ages – starting with infants. You can safely give your child these medicines at any age.
Q: What is the difference between Teething Tablets and Teething Gel?
A: Hyland’s Teething Tablets and Teething Gel are two different dosage forms that share the same active ingredients. Hyland’s Teething Tablets are quick-dissolving tablets that melt instantly in a baby’s mouth upon contact with saliva. Hyland’s Teething Gel is administered directly to the gums for on-the-spot relief of teething pain.
Q: Can I give my baby these products along with Tylenol or Motrin?
A: Yes, you can safely give Hyland’s homeopathic medicines with other medicines you may be giving your child. They will not interact with these or any other medicines, either prescription and non-prescription.
Q: How quickly do they work?
A: Each child will react differently to the tablets; some will receive immediate relief, while it can take longer for other babies to experience relief. We recommend that you give the tablets to your child 2 to 3 tablets under the tongue or in a teaspoon of water, 4 times per day. If the child is restless or wakeful, give 2 tablets every hour for 6 hours. If, after 24-48 hours, you do not see a change in your child, discontinue use and seek another product or the advice of a licensed health care provider.
Q: My baby fell asleep – are Hyland’s teething products sedatives?
A: No, they are not sedatives. Children often fall asleep after using these teething products because their pain has been relieved and after much crying or being upset, they can finally rest and sleep.
Q: What do they taste like?
A: Hyland’s Teething Tablets and Teething Gel are not flavored, and most people report they don’t taste like anything other than faintly sweet.
