Teething troubles! Oragel and tylenol aren't working!

My 21 week old son has just gotten his two bottom teeth in and he is just miserable! I've tried oragel, teething tabs and even tylenol. He still seems to be in pain... Any suggestions?

hylands teething tablets, you can forget orajel. My son freaks over orajel. Make sure to get the Hylands brand, they dissolve instantly. other brands do not

When our son was teething, our doctor reccommended children's Benadryl. Don't give it to the baby--just dip your finger in it and rub on his gums. It has something in it that numbs the gums.

Teething tabs worked for my kids too. There are different kinds but I think you can get them at Walgreens now. For sure they are a health food stores.

You are going to think I am crazy but here it goes take your finger dip it in whisky just wet it and swipe the gums ...My mother in law gave me that tip. but again just a wet finger....I am not advocate under age drinking. The other is gripe water combination of different teas such as mint,chamomile and ginger. You can buy it at Vitamin Shop I used the Wellements brand...but even Little Remedies offers gripe water. You can find that brand at drug stores. Oh almost forgot place a teething toy in the refrigerator until
is very cold. That help numb the gums.

Try letting him chew on the fat end of a clean and peeled carrot, about 3 or 4 inches long. (be sure to cut the narrower end off.....gagging hazard)
