Patient Reviews
What you just do not try to alleviate the pain and calm the child when teething. To do this, I bought various drugs, but Kamistad gel was the best. Now I buy it for adults. It helps very well in the case when the teeth begin to react to sweet and cold.
Pain and discomfort pass in a few seconds after applying the gel to the gums. Particularly pleased that when after a cold tooth starts to hurt, the drug eliminates this pain quickly. After that, the teeth are no longer disturbed. In this case, pain pills start to act only after a while.
"Kamistad baby gel" is very convenient to use. Having squeezed the gel out of the tube, it is enough just to put it on the gum, and the child almost instantly calms down. Especially he saves at night. If they anoint their gums in the evening, the children will sleep without waking up. Kamistad has only one drawback - an unpleasant taste. However, babies give them to smear their gums without problems. Consumed drug very sparinglytherefore, a small tube is enough for a long time. And the price for it is small - only about 150 rubles. In my review, I would like to recommend Kamistad to those whose babies suffer while teething. You can also try it for stomatitis and toothache.
In my review I want to talk about how I treated the sore gums. The doctor recommended a rinse with chlorhexidine and lubrication with Kamistad gel to relieve inflammation. Since the drug smears gums, then, of course, it enters the stomach. Before using it, I carefully read the instructions. The composition of the gel is lidocaine and chamomile, that is, it is practically harmless. Kamistad not only anesthetizes, but also heals. True, it costs 250 rubles for only 10 grams. Which is quite expensive. But to get rid of pain, the price does not matter. The gel can be used for various diseases of the oral cavity. I highly recommend it to anyone who has such problems.
When our child started teething, the pediatrician prescribed Kamistad to relieve inflammation and pain. It consists of the painkiller lidocaine and anti-inflammatory - chamomile. It tastes very nasty and cools a little. At the same time the tongue loses sensitivity. It can be applied to babies from the age of three months. However, a day can be used no more than three times. This is very small, because the effect of the drug passes quickly.
My little son, when the molars got out, was only enough for about three hours. When my tooth ached, I additionally had to take painkillers. A single dose of the gel is 5 mmwhich is very difficult to measure when lubricating gums to a screaming baby. You can give it with a dummy, which is very convenient. However, our son did not suck her. In general, the drug for children is good. But the adults from him a little sense.
Almost everyone has problems with gums. I often suffer from stomatitis. He used to bother me every six months, and lately stomatitis appears every month. This disease is very terrible. During its exacerbation, it is impossible to speak and eat normally, because everything in the mouth hurts. Sores come out not only on the gum, but also on the lip and tongue. And they can appear in several places at once.
Earlier treat stomatitis for some reason it did not even occur to me, so I simply endured pain. But since recently he began to appear very often, and to heal for a whole month, I began to read on the Internet that I could help. Found the means "Kamistad." It was written that his testimony includes stomatitis, gingivitis, wisdom teeth teething, irritation of mucous membranes with briquettes and dentures. The composition includes lidocaine and anti-inflammatory chamomile. I decided to buy it.
The gel has a brown color, which I didn’t like at first very much. When I first smeared it, I was afraid of sensations. I thought that the mucous starts to burn. However, my sick spot froze and the pain disappeared. I smeared the gel from two to five times a day. As a result, already two days of treatment relief came. Of course, completely stomatitis has not passed, but I practically do not feel it. Pain Kamistad begins in a few seconds. Its effect lasts only about half an hour, but after each use I get better and better. Therefore, that chose this drug, I do not regret.
The problem of gum inflammation during teething in my child began to be solved with the help of the traditional Kalgel. But he did not act long, so Kamistad acquired. This drug contains analgesic lidocaine and chamomile extract, which has anti-inflammatory effect. The gel did not help the child for a minute. I decided to try it on myself. Put gum and felt a strong burning sensation. Anesthetic action was not. The poor kid must have felt the same. As a result, they began to use Calgel again.
