Let them chew: Chewing on something cold and firm is helpful. One idea is to give them a damp washcloth that has been frozen in the freezer to chew on. Commercial teeth rings that can be frozen are available as well. Teething is a normal process. I would avoid medication like painkillers unless absolutely necessary. Most babies really don't need them.

Palliative care firs: Teething rings and damp frozen wash clothes are excellent teething aides. Use the appropriate amount tylenol (acetaminophen) for severe teething discomfort. Avoid using medications that you rub on the gums b/c they only last for 10 to 15 minutes.

Teething: If your child is in pain with his/her teething, then giving paracetamol or ibuprofen may help. These should be given at the recommended doses for their age.Gently rubbing over the affected gum with your clean finger may ease the pain. Many children find that biting on a clean and cool object is soothing (for example, a chilled teething ring or a clean, cold, wet flannel).

Ring, tylenol (acetaminophen): It may help to massage your baby's swollen gums with your finger for 2 minutes. A teething ring may be useful.  tylenol or Ibuprofen can also be used for teething pain.  ask your doctor for appropriate dose for your baby’s weight.
