My 4month old just got her second round of shots yesterday and is very crabby! She also is teething; which doesn't help. I've tried teething rings, tylonol, warm bath. Nothing seems to work. HELP!

I used ice packs on the areas where my son got his shots, because it always was so sore and swollen. Teething Tablets were a great find too, you can get them at almost any drugstore or WalMart...they dissolve under their tongue really fast, but you can also dissolve the tablet in water first and then give it to her that way. Orajel worked well, when I could get him to let me use it...my son hated it! Monitor her temperature to make sure it is not too bad. Keep giving her the Tylenol.

I loved Teething Tablets from Walgreens. They really worked!

I would take her temperature and make sure she is not running a fever first. It happens a lot when they have shots and when they teethe. Also, check the area where she got the shots. Sometimes outfits can rub on it and irritate the area. She should get better in a day or two. Is she acting differently then normal? Is she lethargic? That is a good indication that it is the shot and she may not like the way it feels. Sometimes feeding more often may help to clear out the system. Good luck!

Try to massage her gums with wash cloth dipped in cold water. Every time I do this to my baby, he is calmed. Hope this will work. :)

I use Camilia for teething, it's also homeopathic. I buy it in the health food section at the grocery store. It works wonders for my son

I have heard that Hyland teething tablets are very helpful. They are homeopathic. I have used the colic tablets and I think they work wonders.

Try the orajel q-tips, they break open and you rub them on gums. Work great!

Frozen waffles for teeth and lots of love for the shots.
