If he's not allergic to Tylenol, that's a good place to start. Don't exceed the dose limit but also, don't wait until he is in bad pain to give it to him. While the teething is at its worst, using Tylenol regularly will help a lot.
Try a whole frozen bagel. Not the pre-sliced ones, but the ones from a bagel shop or bake shop at the grocery store. You can tie a thick clean strip of cloth thru the bagel hole to make a "handle" for it. Your son will gum it and gum it and little teeny flecks will come off but not huge chunks like if you gave him frozen bread.
And they are big so they take time for the baby to gnaw on! But only give it while you are right there.
My mom used to rub whisky with her finger tips on our teething gums. I did that with my daughter too but only once. It worked, but I felt guilty or bad rubbing whisky on her gums. Even if it was just a droplet.
I used get a clean washcloth wet and then freeze it. My daughter would chew and chew on it and would suck the water...the cold felt good on her gums.
Cool puddings and fruit purees feel good too.
You might want to try an ice cold beer.......for yourself! I hope the teething goes fast.
Also, I disagree that you need to check with a doctor before you try any of the listed remedies. Nothing suggested in any of these postings so far are unusual or outrageous. You don't need to ask a doctor how to comfort your kid. It's a wasted co-pay and it exposes your child to every germ in the dirty doctor office.

A little whiskey on the gums works to numb the area. Just dip your finger in it and rub his gums. This is an old timer's way of doing it. He won't like the taste but it will help with the pain. You can try those biscuits for teething too. Baby Tylenol for the pain could be an option too.

well, i have to agree with old school nurse, as I am not teething but have a lot of tooth problems, and i've found the best two things are A. Listerine and B. Canadian whiskey.
Now for babies, listerine might work, but i dont know if it woudl be harmful to swallow... the whiskey on the other hand, the baby may crawl sideways for a bit, but no long term problems. And don't worry using alcohol on your childs teething does not make you a bad parent turning your kids into lushes. :)

There are several things that you 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 your 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 your 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.
Note: Before trying any of the suggestions listed above or any other type of home remedy it is highly recommended that you contact your pediatrician first. You should follow your pediatricians advise first before trying anything mentioned on this site or on any other site. Your child's doctor knows what is best for your child.

I am so sorry. As a mother of a three year old, I know how hard it can be to watch, and not be able to do anything about it. You are doing all the right things. One other thing you can try, is a popcicle. They tend to like the flavor and are more apt to knawing on it. Also try giving them childrens or infants Tylenol or any other kind of pain reliver. It helps ease the pain, just like it does us.
