Whats the best thing to use to relieve severe teething pain in 8 month old? oragel don't work or ice packs.

Teething Pains: First, you can try an over the counter product called oragel naturals and a rubbery like toy. Massaging the gums with the little rubber toothbrush that often comes with the Fluoride free toothpaste is also helpful. Lastly, if the child is still uncomfortable, you can give the child tylenol/acetaminophen.

Teething ring: Unfortunately, there is no miraculous solution. With my own children i used one of those toy like teething rings that you put in the freezer. It helped some. With the oragel, cradle your babies head between your thighs facing away from you so that you have more control and can see better. Massage the oragel into the gums. A small dosage of Acetaminophen can help as well.

Childrens motrin: Children's motrin(ibuprofen) often works better than tylenol (acetaminophen) for short term relief. Motrin is an anti-inflamatory pain reliever that seems to work better with swelling, which is what teething gums are. Frozen teething rings often provide mild short term comfort as well. But watch so as the child doesn't bite into the liquid center. Use only recommended dosages & see the dentist.

Teething ring: There are some risks with using topical anesthetics especially in infants: http://www.Webmd.Com/parenting/baby/news/20110505/fda-warns-about-teething-medication also limit using oral otc medications for pain. The best solution is to used chilled but not frozen teething rings. Teething is part of the normal process and seems to be harder to deal with by parents than their children.
