Teething question...?

Question

My son is 7 months. He has been out of control fussy for the past 4 or 5 days. (refusing to eat solids,weird napping from not at all to all day, and then being unconsolable in between it all) He is never like this normally. I keep checking to feel for teeth and expect to feel something sharp but now I am not so sure. I can see faint lines on his bottom gums like the bottom front teeth and one side is slightly raised. He has always been a chewer so that isnt an indication for us. He seemed to have a slight fever the other day so I gave him tylenol and he seemed so relieved he passed out. Do you think he is teething or another false alarm?

Answer 1

Def. teething, when my son is about to cut a new tooth his gums will raise up and you can see a white line underneith the skin. My son cut his frist 2 teeth when he was 6mths. old so yoru son is def. in the right age group. We give our son teething tablets they work great. Good luck

Answer 2

Teething!  For sure.  Poor baby.  Give him Tylenol before bed if he needs it to help him get some rest.

Answer 3

yes, he is teething.  You may try some baby oragel or we used an all natural baby pill for teething - it didn't make his gums itch nor was 1/2 his mouth numb from the oragel.

Answer 4

sounds like teething, my 5 month old is acting the same.. however her 2 bottom teeth just came in! get some teething tablets, and chill some teething rings!

Answer 5

Oh yes he is teething..get some Hylands Teething Tablets from Walgreens...they are Miracle Workers!
