Teething Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

6 month old who I think is teething. My son is a nightmare. Clingy, screaming, chewing on everything, not as much drool now, no diarrhea, not sleeping well, eating fine, just plain miserable!


I see nothing coming thru his gums. His ears have been checked also. I don't know what to look for in the gums. It has been a week of total misery. Does the process go on and on for a while?

Teething Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
My son is teething too! My peditrician recommended NOT using Orajel, because it numbs the entire mouth, and confuses them. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and got some Hylands Teething Tablets. They are tiny little homeopathic tablets that disolve in his mouth. They have natural ingrediants to help with the swelling, irratibility, pain and helps the teeth break through. They were like $5.99 for 250 and you use like 2 or 3 at a time, as needed.


You can also dip a clean washcloth in apple juice, and freeze it until its slushy. If you only dip one corner, it won't get too cold for him to hold, because the cloth will be dry. You can do this with water too, but the water freezes solid, and juice will usually only get slushy.
Reply:Glad I could help! Report It

Reply:You can tell if his teeth are coming through, by if you see any whiteness on the bottom or top of his gums. Have you tried the baby orajel? That worked for my son. It is just a process you have to go through. You can also try some infant tylenol for his pain. Good Luck!
Reply:unfortunately...yes. you will eventually feel small bumps on his gums that is when the pain really starts. if your son is healthy otherwise try baby oragel it really does help. also a teething ring with gel in that you put in the freezer helps a lot. good luck.
Reply:Yes, it does go on for awhile. The tooth has to break through the gum first and you won't notice any physical sign of a tooth for awhile. Teeth can come in, and then disappear again. But, just FYI, diarrhea is NOT a sign of teething. Teething is all in the mouth.. therefore it is not an infection. A fever is also NOT a sign of teething..ignore anyone who tells you that. If your child gets a fever, they are getting sick, not gettng a tooth.


If he's eating fine, but chewing everything, give him some oragel when he starts screaming. He's in pain and oragel will soothe that well. Nighttime oragel is best at night because it helps them sleep, as well as taking the pain away. Good Luck
Reply:first i hae to say i feel for you i am going thru the ssame thing with my 1 yr old right now 4 of his back teeth at once all broke thru finally. i wet a washcloth and rolled it and put like 2 or 3 drops of baby pain reliever on it and it sort of numbed it and made it stop hurting for awhile i also gave him frozen french frys and a vibrating teething ring. once the teeth come thru he wont be fusy anymore. as far as what to look for you want to feel his gums for little hard spots or it you touch it and he acts like it hurts or crys then it is deff. his teeth. hope this helps.
