Tylenol. Consult with your pediatrician for the correct dosing.
Cold tethers, babies are not supposed to have pain meds regularly for teething but after 6 months of age, you can give her/him ibuprofen if its hurting a lot or if the baby is not sleeping well. You can use Mylecon ( the gas relief drops) anytime to calm the baby down even if ther is no colic. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
