Pain and discomfort are common in babies during teething. General pediatric recommendation is to gently massage the gums or use cool (not frozen) teething toys.
If these methods aren't enough and your baby is over 6 months old, paracetamol (acetaminophen) syrups can be used for short periods. However, you must always consult your pediatrician about which medication, which brand, and how often to give it. As for teething gels, most contain lidocaine or benzocaine and are not recommended for babies, especially under 2 years, due to reported serious side effects. If pain relief is needed beyond 2-3 days or fever rises above 38°C, this could signal an infection unrelated to teething — consult your doctor.
