Hi,
My 3 month old beagle puppy is teething and in the last couple of days I've noticed that his gums seem to be a bit more tender then usual. I've established this due to his occasional whines and whimpers while he's playing with his toys. He is also biting me a lot more than he used to and appears only to do this when his toys aren't in reach.
He has lots and lots of chew toys - rope toys, latex toys, rubber toys, plush toys... heaps...
He also gets a bone to chew on once a week and his regular food is dry food.
What can I do for him to help ease the teething pain?... If there is anything I can do.
Soothing a teething puppy?
You could try putting his chew toys in a plastic bag and then put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes until they are nice and cool, then give them to him (remove the bag first!) the coolness will help soothe his gums. But also take him to a vet if the problem persists or gets worse.
Reply:It sounds like you have got it sorted with all the chewy toys and the like!
As for the teething pain you could try giving him a drink of chamomile tea. Just add a tea bag to his water bowl. Or if you are game dip you finger in the tea and rub it on your puppy's gums.
Reply:unfortunately, there is not really anything else you can do. just keep making sure he has plenty to chew on, its there own way of making themselves feel better.
my husky pup did the same as did my previouse pups.
your doing the right thing, just keep your shoes out the way and it will be fine
Reply:You can get an all cotton twine rope toy, soak it and freeze it. He will enjoy the icy chew.
This site tells about Anbesol:

Reply:I try to hand feed mine ice cubes...She likes that:) But the toys are a good thing for him, he has to get through it.
Reply:Check with your vet but I am sure that something like what it used for baby's gums like ambusol in just a very tiny amount would be okay. Do nothing though like that without talking to your vet.
Reply:Take away the bones.
The things that you don't want him to chew need to be put away so that he chews on the proper things. If you don't do it now, he will chew on things with your smell on them and this will be a constant problem for his entire life.
Call your vet. It is possible that you can use the same thing on him they use for humans but it is better to check and make sure.
There is also a canine tylenol you can get but I do not remember the name. Again ask the vet.
Emphasize his plush and rope toys for the time being.
Reply:I knotted up a small towel soaked it in water and froze it. My puppy loves to chew on it.
Reply:Put the shoes in the closet. Dr. Foster and Smith (online) sell a (I believe it's canvas), but is specifically made for teething puppies. it goes in the freezer and they can chew it without tearing it apart. We also used a regular coke bottle (plastic of course) filled it part way with water and froze it. Even with German Shepherd razor sharp puppy teeth, it took him 4 weeks to finally puncture it and all he did was drink the icey cold water. He loves it and it's super cheap.

Remedies for teething??
My daughter is 6 months and just miserable. She is drooling like mad...ends up soaking my carpet...(lol) and is so fussy. She puts every toy in her mouth and gets so upset when the rattle won't fit in her whole mouth. She tried to chew the coffee table the other day and got mad her head kept hitting it therefore preventing her mouth from reaching it. I wash my hands really good and she will just gnaw on my finger. She chews on her pacifier instead of sucking it, instead of drinking the bottle she chews the nipple. So I am taking this is all signs of her teething, so what remedies will help? I give her teething toys and rub her gums and try to comfort her but I am not sure of any other ideas?..any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Remedies for teething??
Wet/cold wash cloth to chew/suck on
Cold/Frozen carrot to knaw on
Ice cube in mesh feeder bag
Hylands Teething Tablets (All natural, sold in most stores)
Appropriate dose of Motrin or Tylenol, should everything else fail
Baby Oragel (Some say it works, according to AAP it hardens gums, making it difficult for teeth to come thru)
Keep on massaging if she will have it....I use teething rings at room temp for my girl, she will chew on them if not cold, she doesnt like her hands cold...thats all I got...Good Luck!
Reply:Try the teething tablets. I dont remember who makes them but u can get them at walmart. They work great. I lived by them when my kids where younger.
Reply:Tylenol Infant Drops. They really help. You will have to call you doctor to see about the dosage. Put a wet wash cloth in the freezer for a bit and let her chew on that. You can also put it in a zip lock baggie if you don't want the water everywhere.
Reply:Good day,
Teething..... Think frozen peas, Melba tst, frozen banana. cheerios... Web site out there also. Put the teething rings in the freezer. Talk with your Dr. that is what they are there for..Isnt motherhood grand...
Reply:First of all, be careful for the table if it's wood. You don't want splinters or such in her little mouth. :-)
Talking w/ my baby's pediatrician, he told me to take a q-tip and soak it in children's benedryl. This will numb her gums for at least a good hour. The baby oragel did not work for her at all. My daughter is almost 7 months and is still teething, meaning they still have not come thru. The benedryl really seems to work for her and she's not ingesting this as a medicine and it does not make her sleep (since she's not ingesting it). Talk to your pediatrician about using the benedryl before buying it. Your's may have another suggestion instead. Also try wetting one corner of a wash cloth in cold water; my daughter enjoys gumming this also. Best of luck!
Reply:Teething pills work well as does baby oral gel, you can also get some of the kool aid freezer pops hold them let her gum them. If you find a teething toy you freeze they work well too. You can get the teething pills at the drug store and also the oral gel.
Reply:wet a washcloth and put it in the fridge i had the same problem with my 11 month old and still do.she only has cut 3 teeth and i have bought any kind of teething ring out there,and this is all that seems to actually soothe her gums,they also have a new baby orajel that comes with a break off applicator that you apply with a Qtip.its alot better than the plain old baby orajel.
Reply:I used to give my son a cold apple (whole, peeled) to suck on. I have heard about those teething tablets as well.
Reply:I know people on here are going to think I'm Crazy and that giving this to a teething baby is bad for it's stomach and digestive system, but it helped with ALL my Nieces and Nephews, and they are adicted to this day... And they loved it..
SLIM JIMS....
you have to stay with them while they are chewing/gumming it to death, but it works wonders....
Reply:when my daughter started teething i gave her the all natural fruit juice popsicles, since she was only 5 months and her mouth was too small for a teething ring. it ends up being a bit messy but she loved it.

My babys teething?
Ever since she started teething she wakes up every hour through out the night. She use to sleep through the night before her teething. What can i do to get her to sleep at night? How long will this be going on for?
My babys teething?
Baby Orajel works wonders! Even baby tylenol
Reply:yes, baby oragel or tylenol. Also try a teether (not the liquid filled ones) i used to give my daughter a wet cloth to chew on. she loved that!
how long it will last depends on each child.
my son isn't waking at night, but he does have a few rashes, doctor says it's normal.
Reply:Teething is different for each child. Ask your doctor in the morning if it's okay to give the baby a bit of Tylenol. Never do this without asking a doctor first as it's based on age, weight and overall health!
Secondly, try putting a damp washcloth in the fridge for a bit to cool and let the baby chew on it. Mine have not had a lot of pain with teething. We only had maybe one to 2 nights when the molars were coming in that it was really bad. We let them chew on washclothes, teethers, my son chewed on my knuckle for awhile before the front teeth came in.
It should only be a few nights, keep the same bedtime ritual, but be ready to get up with baby if he's really unhappy, they really just want to be held when they are hurting.
Reply:The worst times will be the couple of day periods when the teeth are actually cutting through the gums. There are several things you can try. Tylenol or Motrin work well to calm the swelling/fever. Orajel can work to numb the gums. If your baby will use it, a teether helps. My sister had to go so far as to dab whiskey on my nephew's gums because nothing else would work. That numbed his gums as well as put him to sleep. Although I don't much care for using alcohol with a child, it did work wonders. I hope all of this helps you some.
Reply:Just like everyone else said... with my three children, I used orajel and baby tylenol. Sometimes you can use a very little bit of baby benadryl to help them sleep. But there will be times when nothing at all helps them, you will just have to suffer. lol. I found that it calmed them when I bent a finger and rubbed their gums with my knuckle. They would stop crying.
Reply:Baby oragel has a nighttime formula that I used when my daughter first started teething, it helped some but she still woke up a little more often than she used to. It only lasted a few weeks and then she was back to her normal routine. It got thrown off when her next tooth came in but not as bad.
Reply:It seems like just when you got the child to finally start sleeping through the night there comes something else to wake them up, their teeth. What I tell parents is to give the baby some Tylenol if they seem like they are in pain, this will help calm and soothe your baby, you can also try some baby oragel, but put a very small amount on and make sure to only put in on the babies gums.
Reply:Infant Tylenol works good. It also makes them sleepy, which is good for the baby and the parent. It can go on for quite awhile. It depends on how fast the teeth come in. Teething rings also help.

7week old teething?
he started teething last week, u can see the teeth coming in on the bottom, i got him a teether but its too big for him sine he is so young. has anyone had this problem or do they know if he is too little to give him the baby teething gel?
7week old teething?
he's pretty young. I know you want to give some relief, but the baby orajel is for 4 months and up, and the teething ring is for babies who have more developed motor skills. You may have to gently rub his gums with a cold rag.
Reply:At that age the likelyhood that any teether will be chewed on is low...try a soothie brand suckie/binky...
You can use the oragel stuff, it should be fine. And you can give him the recommended amount of tylenol too.
Reply:i don't think he's too little for a TINY amount of gel. but instead i would suggest wetting a washcloth with some purified water and freezing it in a sandwich bag... take it out, and then you have a teether, any size you need (fold it before freezing).
Reply:Every child is different and you can't control when they start teething. I am sure there is something out there you can buy for early teethers. As far as the teething gel goes, I would ask a doctor or use very little. That gel is very strong. Good luck! Congratulations on your new little one!!!

4month old teething?
she is great during the day, very happy baby. I was kinda thinking teething also, but wasn't quite sure. I have tried those teething tablets, but haven't decided if they work well or not, and I'd hate to give her tyleonl only becuase she does not have a fever. (am i responding in the correct place? this is the first time I am doing this)
4month old teething?
Hyland's teething tablets ( if those are the ones you are talking about ) Work from the inside out. They cure the Symptoms of teething, such as restlessnes, fussiness etc. They do not numb the gums or offer any relief straight to the tooth.. Orajel does help but for only 15 min's or so, b/c of baby's saliva washing it right off. Its only suggested to be offered no more than 4 times a day b/c the saliva carries it to the back of the throat, numbing it and becoming a chocking hazzard b/c baby can't feel it. BEST thing for a teething baby is something cool to chew on, it will bring the swelling down and help the tooth finally break through ( think about when you have a swollen ankle ) .. Infant's tylenol is used as a pain reliever and not just a fever reducer. It's perfectly safe to use after getting the right dosage from your doc. ( or if you remember the dosage at the 4 month shots )
My son just got his 1st tooth at 5 months, and his second 10 days later.. He was a very cranky baby!
Reply:Tylenol isnt just for fevers, its for pain relief as well.
Reply:teething at this age is normal. I used orajel to numb the gums..my kids took it fine so I didn't try other options
Reply:Tylenol was the only thing that worked for my son, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I was really against any unnecessary medicine but after a while you need your sleep.
Reply:I can honestly say Ibuprofen is probably the best way to relieve teething pain. It can be used with baby orajel. Baby Orajel has a nighttime version that is very good. If you use these two things teething won't be a problem. Good Luck!
Reply:If teething tablets aren't working, buy frozen waffles, and let her suck on that awhile...it's got a better flavor, and if she doesn't have teeth yet, she can't bite off a chunk. and just think...when you are in pain, you take tylenol, right? That's what it's for, it just reduces fever as well...and, a lot of times, my kids ran fevers while teething...i think it's just part of the process. My kids hated the taste of orajel, so I never used it unless I couldn't sleep at night because of the baby crying

Help with teething pain.?
My baby has been teething for the last 4 months (he's now 7 months). Since then he's not slept more than 3 hours at a time at night, he's constantly got a high whiny cry whilst chomping on things and I can't find anything to soothe the pain for him. I've tried calpol, calgel, nurofen %26amp; chamomile. He won't let me touch his gums, so I can't massage them. He's got his bottom 2 teeth, but there's no sign of any others at the moment.
Bearing in mind that I've probably got a fair few months of teething to go yet, any ideas what I can try next??
Help with teething pain.?
I found Ashton powders made no difference and Bonjela slipped off their gums but, Anbesol liquid (comes in a small bottle) worked wonders. Immediate relief. I even use it myself when I get ulcers etc.
Good luck.
Reply:Panadol and Bonjella (Assuming you are from Australia).
Also a dummy might help the sleeping thing as is massages as they suck during their sleep.
Reply:rub a little bit of alcohol on their gums
Reply:have you tried bongela this is good for babies when there teething,you can buy teething rings from the chemist which you put in the fridge then when there cold you give it to your baby and they chew on them,bicky pegs are another way to help teething
Reply:Medised is much better than Calpol as it contains antihistamine which helps babies sleep. Also ask your pharmacist for Anbesol - it is a liquid which comes in a tiny bottle and you can rub it on to their gums and it helps numb the pain.
Good luck :)
Reply:Have you tried Medised?
You can give him calpol and nurofen within 2 hours of each other i think it is.
i know its hard, ive been there, and im still there and my son is now 2 and still teething.
Reply:I used a product called ashton powder when my twins were teething you can get this from your local boots, hope it helps.
Reply:your baby is alright but keep trying to massage them to ease the pain and he'll be alright
Reply:try Aston powders you can get them in herbal or regular they were a life saver for me also get some teething biscuits an your baby will chew on these for hours ,go to your local chemist an they sell them i went to boots or try super drugs .
Reply:When my children were teething we used hurricane gel and it worked wonders. You can get it at most pharmacies. Trust me it works.
Reply:try a frozen clean washcloth with some ice chips wrapped in it,
or-my baby loves an ice cold bottle straight from the fridge
Reply:but a full banana in the freezer , when frozen let him chew on it , it worked on my son you will just have to watch him when he is eating it .
Reply:hello
you get some teething powders from boots. they come in a small white box and cost about £2. they are on the aisle where all the teething gel is.
they are herbal and so they can be taken with other medicine (calpol etc)
also you can get those teething rings that are filled with water. you put them in the freezer and they numb the babies gums to take off some pain.
Reply:bonjella, its the best for teething babys!
Reply:the best thing i have found is Hylands Teething relief, it is a homeopathic product and it is fantastic! check out hylands.com to find local stockists. good luck, i know it is a terrible time to see poor bubs go through!
Reply:my mum always dipped our dummies in brandy before we sucked them. it worked, she never had a problem with us when we were teething. i did the same with my lil'un and il teach him to do the same with his children. it really works.
good luck babe

Reply:I,ve tried everything too and nothing worked.
Recently i discovered the Ashton and Parsons teething powder and it,s a god send. It,s a herbal powder so unlike other medicines you can repeat every hour or so if needed.
Plus it helps sort the horrible nappie bit out too.
You can get them from Boot,s your local chemist or even from your local supermarket if it has a pharmacy. I bought mine from Tesco and they were £2.85 i think for 20.
I recommend it it,s the only thing that,s worked so far.
Reply:I have bought a 'gummy' for my son who is teething like a dummy with a gum shield type thing (hard to explain) for him to bite and also easy to put bonjela on rather than having to rub the area with your finger. Works even tho my son doesn't have a dummy aswell

General q's about teething baby?
My son is 4 months, and he may be teething.. he's got a slight redness on the cheecks, doesnt sleep well at night, sometimes fusses for no apparent reason, drools exessively and bites down hard on anything he can get his hands on..
1. So does teething pain come and go? Or is it constant? How long untill a tooth actually breaks through the skin?
2.Are Hylands Tables effective? Since i'm really not sure, i'm not giving him Tylenol or even orajel. ijust give him a damp washcloth to chew on, or a teething ring, or rub his gums with my finger.. but he's miserable, so how do the Hylands tablets work, and how effective?

Teeting pain does come and go. The time it takes for a tooth to break through depends on your baby and what tooth he's getting. Some only take a week or two, while others seem like they're never going to break through!
I never used Hyland's tablets, but I did use a similar brand that you buy at Walgreen's. I think the tablets help calm the baby and offer some pain relief.
Please don't be worried about offering your baby some medication for pain relief. I would recommend using Baby Motrin instead of Tylenol, though. The Motrin is specifically designed to help deal with the inflammation and the relief comes a little faster and lasts a little longer. Since some babies can get an upset stomach from Motrin, give your son small snack with the Motrin. If he isn't eating any solid foods, just give him the Motrin right before or right after he has a bottle/breastfeeds.
My son started to teeth when he was ten weeks old!!
Good luck!
Reply:i use the baby orajel and teething ring. my son is 10 months now and barley got his first tooth last month. so i also give him popcicles to help, but you might want to try that when your son is a little older. for now just stick to the teething ring and orajel
Reply:My daughter will be 5 month tomorrow....well she began to start teething a little after 4 months too! Well, with her the pain does come and go...but I don't know how long it will take for the teeth to come in. You ask about Hylands teething tablets...............they work GREAT!!!! It says to give them 2 or 3 at time every 4 hours.....well, I give Emma 3.....I take 1 at a time it wet it in my mouth.....then pinch it so that is like powder and then let her suck it off my finger......it seems to take the pain away and she is able to get some rest......hope that helps!!
Reply:The first person's answer is great. One thing I thought that I'd mention, however, is that you cannot give your infant Motrin until they're 6 months old. My 8 month old son is currently getting his top two teeth in, and they just WON'T come through! We've been giving him Motrin, but Tylenol worked well also when he got his bottom two in. (He was 5 months old) We have been using the Hyland's tablets, and it seems to be working. We put about 3 in a bottle either when he needs a nap or before bedtime. It's not really a huge difference, but it doesn't hurt so we're sticking with them for now.
One thing that was funny that he loved today was a very very cold bottle of water. He liked to bite down on the bottom of it. It seemed to give him some relief!
Good luck!
