Justin has been miserable for the last couple of days. He is getting molars on the bottom already. I thought this was not until he was older :( I feel horrible - it's a cry that we've never heard...you can tell he is in pain. I try Orajel, but it does not seem to help and when I do I can feel the teeth under the skin. It feels like 2 or 3 on each side, but I think it's just because the gums are so swollen. Is this normal with molars? Does anyone have any advice on how to make him more comfortable? He does not like teething toys or popsicles. He will eat a little bit of ice cream or smoothie. He is not eating much food either - table food or baby food. I just feel like there is something I should be doing :(
Oh and to make life even better for him, we have to go to the doctor tomorrow for his one year shots..... Poor baby. I wish I could take the pain instead of him.

You can do motrin and tylenol both since they're different drugs. Tylenol is every 4 hours and motrin is every 6 hours. I usually try to alternate times so that there is a pain killer effective in them at all times. The motrin should help the swelling a little bit too. That's my only advice...Ava never had much problem with her teeth, but Noah does, so I drug him up and it seems to help some. Hope the teeth pop through soon so the little guy can feel better!
You could try the Orajel tablets. You use two or three and it numbs the gums.
