      Comfort him a lot. Being comforted reduces anxiety and pain. It will also help him sleep.

      And pain meds too of course.

      I cannot stress enough, babies and little children can’t get too many cuddles

      Bonjela and lots of it. Panadol and Nurofen help with the pain as well.

        Oh yeah, we give him Panadol as required, trouble is he isnt always super obvious with it.
