What I did to my one year old son when he got his first set of teeth is to massage his gum. I also gave him cold water to slighlty numb his swolen gum. For his fever, I gave him paracetamol. (and I heard that it is also a pain relieve).

If you can see a tooth erupting, use one of the commercial teething gels directly on the spot. Avoid spreading the gel all over the gums. Too much could affect the throat and make the baby prone to choking. If you cannot see the exact spot, give the baby something cold to chew on - a teething ring from the refrigerator or a frozen miniature bagel. For night-time relief, a dose of children's paracetamol is perfectly fine so everyone can get to sleep.

I give my baby a paracetamol syrup to relief the pain.

There are several things that i can try to help ease the pain of teething; some work and some don’t, but most parents agree they’re always worth a try. Teething rings, water filled and chilled rubber teething toys; mom and dads fingers can all provide counter pressure that can sometimes bring relief. Offering my baby a cold bottle of water can also help. If sucking on the bottle bothers your child, offer a cold cup of water. The water can also help replenish my baby’s fluid if they’re drooling a lot or have loose bowel movements. Cold food has also been found to be helpful by some parents. Chilled applesauce, yogurt and pureed peaches may be more appealing to your baby and also more nutritious than a chilled teething ring. When nothing else helps, you can also turn to the Infant Tylenol. Before giving your child Infant Tylenol (acetaminophen) always check with your doctor first. Your doctor will tell you if it’s all right and what the proper amount is to give your baby. Baby Orajel and other teething pain medicines that are applied to the gums can also provide some relief. Some parents say the Baby Orajel type products work great, while other parents will say it doesn’t. Also check with your doctor before giving this type of over the counter pain reliever to your baby. The teething process will come and go just like so many other things with new babies. Keep trying different things until you find what provides the best relief for your child.
