Freeze washcloths: Freeze washcloths. Some moms choose to dip the washcloth in chamomile tea before freezing. Try out different degrees of coldness for your baby. If he/she doesn’t seem to enjoy the sensation, you can also try a damp. Experiment with different textures and thicknesses.

You can try : Although no treatment is needed for teething, if your child is experiencing pain, baby tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin (with the correct dosing) will usually help most. You can also try a chilled pacifier or teething ring. Topical anesthetics are usually not very effective.
