Toothache and teething: how to relieve it?

If your baby's cheeks are red, they have been grumpy all day long, and have a slight fever for a few days, it's most likely a teething problem.

  • When teeth start to erupt through the gums, a whole set of symptoms appear.
  • To soothe your baby, you can give them a chilled teething ring or gently massage the gums with your fingers.
  • To reduce the fever, you can use acetaminophen, making sure the dosage is appropriate for your baby's weight.
  • If your baby's fever is over 38.5 °C (101,3 °F) or they seem unwell, you should consult your pediatrician.

I think my little have been teething also for the last two weeks but have been getting worse have you checked her gums for swollen white tender gums? Is she fussy or crying more often? You can give her Tylenol help massage her gum or teething medicine I seen this some where the person gave there child a celery and let them chew on it since it is cool and not cold but the baby was around 8/9 months tho Also seen where mother get a wash cloth put water and put it in the fridge for a couple mins to where it is not to cold just cool and let them use the cold from the cloth to help

Have you tried a clean washcloth, get it wet, or even put it in the freezer for just a little bit. The texture and cold feels good to their gums. Also, I was told it helps wipe off milk on their gums. I guess the milk on their gums can make teething hurt worse.

Tommy has been sucking on his tongue and " chewing " it a lot lately as well as drooling like crazy. FTM question time... Him doing this does it mean he's teething he's eating 6-8oz so I know he isn't hungry. Is he teething?

I’m pretty sure Babygirl is teething. I’ve rubbed her gums and I don’t feel teeth. But the way she’s drooling and chewing on her hands, I’m curious. Can she really be teething at 3 months? Well she’ll be 3 months exactly tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure my 3 month old started teething she's so squirmy and wants to bit everything. She won't take teething toys at room temperature but Idk if I'm allowed to put any water on them and freeze them without it harming her
