Teething isn't fun for the baby or the parents. Getting a teething baby back to sleep after a fretful night of pain is what every parent wants, but they also want to find pain relievers that don't have any long term health risks such as possible liver damage. Here's how to treat painful teething symptoms with homeopathy so your baby can get some relief from the teething pain.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Ask your pediatrician for a homeopathic recommendation for baby teething pain. Most doctors are knowledgeable about some of the homeopathic remedies available on the market. If your doctor doesn't want you to use anything but traditional pain remedies for teething, then see about getting a second opinion.

  2. Step 2

    Locate a doctor of homeopathy. Look in your phone book or health insurance directory to find a doctor who works holistically or homeopathically. Most of the time you will find these doctors are very knowledgeable about their subject and may have some teething remedies for your baby.

  3. Step 3

    Try a homeopathic remedy that is labeled for baby teething relief. Holland's makes a teething jell and instant-dissolve teething tablets that are formulated specifically for a baby's teething pain.

  4. Step 4

    Use the homeopathic remedy according to the package directions. For most homeopathic remedies it's necessary to give a dose every hour for the first four hours or so and then taper off to one dose every four hours. Follow the specific instructions on your package.

  5. Step 5

    Know that most homeopathic remedies are for the symptomatic relief of teething pain only for the baby. Homeopathic remedies, for the most part, treat symptoms. But unlike drugs, they have no side effects.
