Teeth Problems

It all started last week. Little sweetie put everything into her mouth and was chewing like a mad dog. I knew something was bothering her so I put my fingers into her mouth. She answered by biting me. Snap! She stared at me and ran away. On her run she grabbed a new thing and started to bite on it too. I tried to explain for her it will not harm. After a while I think she understood and let me check out her mouth. And there it was. Two more teeth were on its way up. No wonder little Sweetie has been whining more than usual.

All week was full of whine and I tried to explain for her up coming teeth can be hurtful.

Saturday it got worse. Now she refused to eat and I could see in her eyes it was not ok. Little Sweetie had got a fever. One more tooth was on its way up and probably this mouth disorder provoked the fever. I said to myself – we have been waiting for months for next tooth and why on earth do 3 at the same time appear? Couldn’t it be better with only one at the time? Mother Nature is sometimes a big question for me. All weekend little Sweetie was suffering from ace and fever. And as usual when she is not feeling well she refuses food. Does any one have any good advice to give? It does not feel good to start a fight with her but it is a pain to give her anything to eat or drink.

This morning fever was gone. We kept her at home today too and she was wilder than ever. Her energy was totally complete and she was searching for things to do – of course things she was not allowed to do. It is so fun to tease mom :)

Teething will cause a runny nose and a fever. It's definetly no fun for the little tikes!

An old fashioned remedy given to us by my kids pediatrician was to rub rum, or any other type of alcohol on their gums. Just enough to wet your finger and then rub on them. Helps them sleep and eases the pain.

Some people frown on giving kids alcohol, all I can say is it worked!

Thanks, I believe you, when telling me it reminds me of the old days dentists (if it is possible to call them dentists lol) were using it as pain killers.

I will try it tonight as yesterday she did not want to go to sleep. Of course she was so tired this morning...

Let me know if it worked!

How are you doing? You don't post often and I'm sure you are busy with your horses and your family.

Talk to you soon

Hi Leann, I know I have been quite lazy in posting. It has been alot with my work and this little sweetie has been needing me more when at home. We are doing very well, and it did really work!

I will write a new blog right away!
