Do you think he is teething?

Question

My baby couldn't be any better, not to brag, but he doesn't cry unless he is hungry, tired or wants to be walked around if you are holding him still. So yesterday, I dropped him at daycare and he cried for almost 3 hours!!! I brought him home gave him Tylenol and ten minutes later he was fine. I thought he might have a soar throat since I have had a really bad cold that started out that way.

Anyways, his temp is between 99.5 and 100.5, seems irritable, but better after tylenol, no other symptoms, happy, playful, eats fine and still sleeps through the night...he is drooling(which most babies do anyways) and will put anything he can in his mouth. He will be 4months on monday.

Do you think he could be teething? If so, how long does the pain/irritablity last?

Answer 1

if hes 4 months, a 100.5 temp its actually a fever. when babies r teething, some get fevers (mine did) and mine also had all the symptoms ur has. irritability, crying, grumpy, etc. and my baby is also like ur baby that doesnt cry unless he needs something. so i was like u very concerned as to why he was acting this way.

just buy that orajel stuff (it didnt work for me but might work for u)

wat he really liked was those shewing toys u chill and than give them to them (they're for teething) he really liked that bc it would numb his gums u know.

it last till the tooth cuts thru but when it actually those it gets wrost cuz it hurts u know..... maybe like 1 week  

Answer 2

Well with my 6 month old it started about then, with what you are saying but no fever that i ever noticed.  She just sprouted a tooth at 6 months.  The pain and irritability came and went sporadically for her.  I gave her tylenol a few times, not too much tho.  I also gave her some oragel.  She really enjoys biting on a cold teether.  good luck!

Answer 3

Sounds like he is teething to me! Give him teething tablets- a lot of people haven't heard of them but anyone I have had try them loves them! They are all natural and my son, nieces and nephews have never had a problem with them!  

Answer 4

sounds like teething to me let the baby suck on wet wash clothes that will make baby happy also during the pain

Answer 5

Yes. Poor baby and poor mommy! When my daughter was teething Tylenol was my best friend. The little frozen teething rings are worthless! Put a wet washcloth in the freezer and then have the baby chew away!! Good Luck!

Answer 6

Yes, My first was the same way.  Baby #2 is 41/2 months and is the same way right now.  I can feel his tooth so anyday now he should get some relief from the aches but keep in mind that another tooth will follow close behind that one.  Good Luck
