i have some queries.
Lavender oil, Chamomilla tea or tablets, Eucalyptus Oil and calphos.

my doctor was against giving these, but in our family we have been using these remedies to soothe babies from teething, fussiness and cold.
i was giving calphos as a family practice but after my doctor said itz not required, we stopped.

my doctor says :
1. Lavender Oil - it has natural mild sedative so it calms babies and itz not advisable to use it.
2. Eucalyptus Oil - it is strong for babies and should not be used near to babies below 6months. it has vapors that does not allow eye ducts to open fully if used before 6months.it also irritates the nose and skin of the babies.

3. Chamomilla tea or tablets : my doctor says use it under strict supervision of homeopathic doctor only. he also said that effectiveness of this plant depends on the place itz grown or cultivated.Iz it true ? how do i know i am using the right one.

4. about calphos, he said that itz nothing but calcium and phosphorus tablets. itz given to babies who suffer from teething pains and has calcium and phosphorus deficiency. when this medicine is given, it will give calcium and phosphorus boost to child and helps in teething. but it does not relieve from teething pain.
instead he was suggesting me to give tylenol every 4hours when aryan(my son) was teething. he also said that tylenol when given in excess causes liver damage. i had to give aryan tylenol during teething as he was running high fever and was crying for 2hours. after tylenol he was feeling better and started playing.

so my question is :
-- is it safe to give the herbs or homeopathic medicine or tylenol ? i am confused about it.
-- since i had to give him tylenol him once during his first 2 upper teeth, does it mean every teeth will give him so much pain ?
it means that i will have to give him tylenol everytime and it will damage his liver ?
can you throw some lights on it.
-- if calphos gives calcium and phosphorus, then can i give calcium and phosphorus supplements directly ?
please throw some lights on these medications. aryan has 2 teeth and it seems his teething time will be hard to handle. i am working from home so it becomes difficult for me to take care of him when he keeps crying or doesn't let me work.
Please throw some lights on this, it will clear my confusion and worries.

with my personal experience, i know it that when my baby had his first teeth, he was extremely fussy and i had to give him tylenol. but after that he was fine with teething. it was not required to give tylnol. sometimes in some teeth only babies become fussy i have heard.
don't worry much, if your doctor has asked you to give tylenol, give that. why worry about other homeopathic medicines.
