...this is Not True...

I'm pretty sure bonjela and pamol aren't supposed to be used at the same time because you can overdose on medicine that way. |
it is bonjela and aspirin that shouldnt be mixed....as pointed out by Maria on another thread:

Woops already replied in other thread.
Yep it is fine. I think sometimes people get confused as to the diffrence between paracetamol and asprin.

it is a common misconception and it seems to come up every time someone mentions teething...
so i hope it was okay to put it up there like that...

Well I've given Ella pamol and bonjela, and weleda teething powder.. all together. Checked with a nurse on healthline once in the middle of the night, when nothing else was working

I had noticed this too Deb...
If Erin is having a really rough day / night I will go the whole hog with Naturopharm teethmed spray, Weleda teething powder, Bonjela, and Pamol - although the Pamol usually as a 'last resort' of a combo of the other three doesn't work.

I would be inclined to agree that you shouldn't mix any of it. They're not tested to see what happens when mixed with other products (perhaps I'm just paranoid?)
Most things say these days to consult a health practicioner (sp?) if taking any other medication, don't forget that even though some stuff is natural, it is still medication

I am very wary of giving any medicine, and I usually wait it out.. but having been through teething with a little girl who was in lots of pain, I was willing to mix medicine to give her some comfort (and some sleep for both of us!!).
btw - yes, at the advice of a health practitioner 
pamol is a medicine which is pretty neutral to other medicines, and with homeopathic remedies, most of the ones sold in the chemist don't react with anything else.. st johns wort does and there are probably a few others, but you will be told by your pharmacist when you purchase it.

You are going to find that different doctors have different opinions on things wherever you go..

or the possibility of each cancelling the other out and there being not treatment/relief at all? Who knows?!?!?
I was told NEVER to take St Johns Wort with the pill (SJW cancels the pill), this was after my Swamp Witch episode on the Pill.
My GP who also does a bit of Homeopath type treatments and has always said do one or the other not both (conventional Vs alternative), just in case.
Jax, my advice (for what it's worth  ) is to give each treatment a chance to work before adding more, nothing is instant.

In the UK, the company that manufactures Bonjela (Reckitt Benckiser) also manufactures childrens paracetamol under the brand name Disprol. This from their website:
If your baby is very distressed during teething it is acceptable to use both Bonjela Teething Gel for localised pain relief and Disprol Paracetamol Suspension for fever and pain relief together.
You can find more info here
I personally would be wary about using other homeopathic remedies in conjuction with Bonjela, or other traditional medicines, unless I could find concrete evidence that they were safe to use together. Bonjela + Pamol is about all I'll stretch to.

I'm lucky Ashlee doesn't have any problems with teething (rub, rub, rub  hehe). I never got told any of this by any medical professional when buying Pamol and/or Bonjela. Interesting though...

I'm going to try my best to be diplomatic, but it's a hard thing to do when your feelings have been hurt.
I might be a first time mum, but I am not stupid !!
On the advice of both my GP and a naturopath, I am doing what is best for my baby considering the situation - Erin has had no less than seven teeth come through in the last 10 months, and I don't expect it to slow down.
I didn't just jump into the deep end and start giving the different remedies to her all at once. Pamol is usually my last resort, and most often I will give a little Bonjela and the Teethmed spray. I might be impatient by nature, but I understand that nothing is instant - and I would never be careless with my little girl's health.
Anyway, it might be all the hormones talking (I wish effing AF would just show up !!!)... but I need some time out. This was so not the response I was expecting when I contributed here with the intention of being helpful.

i remember sending hubby to the chemist once when he worked in the mall and said bring me home something for gabriel cause hes teething...expecting bonjela.
when he came home he had those teething drops and i was like what are these??? i dont recall they ever did anything for him but then again it was only once that his teeth even hurt when teething. Toby on the other hand had 4 came up in 2 days and was in obvious distress about it.
i always did the bonjela to stop the immediate pain of the tooth, and i swear that half of it was the rubbing that was more soothing...and then pamol for the "lets have a good sleep" relief. oh and i keep mine in the fridge.
