2sp, it is really stressful. On the one hand I'm trying to be all nice about it with her, but on the other hand I'm trying to explain that if she takes the medicine she won't be in such pain. It's like this with everything though, tummy aches, fever. You name it, she'd rather suffer.
I dread every meal at the moment, afraid that something will start her tooth off hurting and we'll go through it all again. It seems once it starts it's then there for the rest of the night. It's not nice seeing her in such pain, but I also get that feeling of frustration too.
When it happens again I'm just going to do as some of you've advised and force her to take the calpol. Oh god, that sounds awful.
Thanks again.
