4-month-old baby teething, what should I do?

You may see signs of teething in a 4-month-old, though it's early for this age. You can try these to comfort your baby:
- Cold teethers: Silicone or rubber teethers refrigerated (not frozen) in the refrigerator relieve pressure on the gums.
- Clean, cold cloth: You can dampen, squeeze, refrigerate, and let baby chew on it.
- Gentle gum massage: Using a clean finger to gently press and massage the gums can be soothing.
- Excess drooling and fussiness: These are normal at this stage; use plenty of bibs and keep face clean.
Teething does not cause fever — if there's a fever of 38°C or higher, diarrhea, vomiting, or rash, these aren't related to teething and you should see a pediatrician.
Never use over-the-counter gels or drops without doctor recommendation; don't give any medication without medical advice. If baby refuses feeding, weight gain stops, or fever is 39°C or higher, definitely see your pediatrician.
