How can I help my teething child?

Teething is one of those things that most first-time parents fear. 

A teething child will spend time going back and forth between cranky and miserable and this definitely takes a toll on both the child and the parents. 

To ease the pain of teething, consider giving your child a cold, wet washcloth to suck on. This will ease the pain and distract the child.

If your child is older than six months, you can consider giving Children’s Tylenol or Children’s Motrin.  Most pediatricians advise that you stay away from numbing agents, which can reduce the suckling instinct and reduce the amount that your child will eat while they are teething. 

If your child is running a fever, or has a runny nose, it is probably a sign that something else is happening because these are not signs of teething.
