I found Bonjela helped, and when they were really upset giving them a nice warm bath.
Good Luck.

The best thing that I had for mine were the teething rings that you put in the freezer. They help numb the gums and they don't get as fussy with them as they do with others. Also she may start to have a slight temperature, so be prepared and have ibuprofen on hand at the first sign of it. Or you may have a very cranky little girl on your hands.

Yep, they had those when my 21 year old was a baby. It did work.

The frozen teething rings are great. Also you can use baby ambersol or something like that. It numbs the gums too. My daugher was once cutting six teeth at once. I feel your pain. It's so hard to watch them that way. And yes, they do drool a lot. Hang in there hun.

Aaawww Teething. I remember it. 
From what I remember mine used to often get red cheeks.. sore bums.. a higher temp.. and sometimes poo a bit more runny than usual .. (niiiiiice)..
Oh well yeah. and would be much more crabby and cranky,
As then other mummies have said.. a cold teething ring is ideal.. something she can have a good ole gnaw on to her help toooof come through. Gum gel.. Oo and a good baby- pain killer too.

oralgel and a lot of frozen teething rings and a huge heap of patience its going to be a long cranky road. but anything frozen works best. have you started her on solid food yet?------ This thread is Archived ------
Yep the bonjela works, and frozen teething rings also you will need the patience and have the baby pandol ready. Maybe try some distracting singing to bub or playing tickling baby nosies

rockstar, I also remember my girls teething . My girls would never use those teething rings so what I did was they sold these popsicles that had an hard plaster cover on them basically they have to bite on it but they want to bite on it because the sweet juice comming out they loved them. Also they came with vitamin c so it was a plus! My mom however used to dip her finger in brandy and then rub the brandy on my gums! Hmm maybe that is why I like it now LOL Anyway good luck and enjoy these times because before you know it she will be driving!!!!!!!!!!yuk!!

Good for you
... its hard to do it on your own I am only an Aunty but have many hours babysitting under my belt.. Bonjela (medicated gel that you get in Pharmacy/Chemist) is good, also.. they seem to like chewing on things around this time.. so a teething ring may also help...
Best of luck

Oh, at first I felt rather stupid reading all the nice Mommy advice about medicines/teething rings ... then I came to Horrorcorner`s advice, and heaved a sigh of relief! Thats what I used to do .... when the little screaming red in the face bundle would accept no comfort, stuck a knuckle into his mouth and if he grabbed it and gnawed and drooled like a crazed dog I knew it was Teeth! ... A drop of brandy on finger rubbed into the gums did the trick.
Now they grown up men. The one enjoys his beer. The other doesn`t drink acohol at all. Whew! Wot a relief!
Teething powders work well too. My reason for the brandy was I lived out in the country and didnt have access to modern medicines - but kept brandy for medicinal use!

I remember the Germans would mix honey & a bit of brandy, using a dropper, stuff it in a pacifier & set it in the freezer.
When my little fosters got toothy, we used honey & clove oil.
Another thing is to keep their mind busy... distraction is very helpful. I set up a small fish tank, turned out all the lights & let the bubbling lights & fish sooth the lil ones.
A touch of meds, a touch of love & some fishies...
Just try to breathe & soon it will pass.

Mine didn't like teeting rings either. Do you have teething rusks over there mine didn't mind those. They are like really hard dry bread sticks.
I have not heard of teething tablets sorry.
