Pain Relief - what can we use??

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Really need pain relief for ds as he is in pain with teething and this

is causing more seizures. He is getting lots of clusters of grimacing

and spasms. So far this week we've had to administer midazalom on Mon

and Thur to stop the clusters of seizures but the next day he starts all

over again.....with tears rolling down his face. We've tried

ibuprofen (nurofen) but this doesn't seem to control his pain.

I know that paracetamol is not good for our kids but I've had to give it

a couple of times and it stops the pain and the clusters of seizures.

What else can I give or do? I don't know how long it will take for the

tooth to come through and would want to avoid relying on emergency AED's

if I can.

One of his carers suggested to rub " Orajel " into his gums, it contains

benzocaine, does anyone know if this is not good to use.
