June 26, 2014 at 02:30PM Do Teething Babies Need Medicine on Their Gums? No

Teething is a normal part of childhood that doesn't need a "cure" with prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications. FDA warns parents that prescription drugs such as viscous lidocaine are not safe for treating teething in infants or young children, and that they have hurt some children who used those products. There are safer, non-toxic alternatives.
