Reassurance of the patient is important since symptoms of teething are generally mild and self limiting (1)
The main aim of treatment is to relieve teething pain.
Management options include:
Oral salicylate gel is not recommended for children younger than 16 years of age due to the risk of Reye's syndrome (2).
Presence of severe systemic symptoms is unrelated to teething and should advise parents to consult a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment (1).
