Teething Pain and Meds (Tylenol & Motrin)
Oh my goodness! I feel like I've been saying her teeth are super close now for 4 months! LoL my girl is 8m 1 week old and not a tooth!!
She's been MISERABLE for the last TWO WEEKS now! She's constantly knawing on her fingers and just plain grumpy constantly! For the past two days she's cut down on her bottles as well. I can see her take some then kinda fidget and play with nipple in her mouth before pushing it aside and crying and shove her fingers in. Yesterday I was freaking out cause she took only 13 oz in a 24 hour period! (Today's she's way better though with her bottle anyway!)
We've been giving her a dose of Motrin before bed because she will otherwise wake about 5-6 times and cry out in pain. Problem is it's been a week of giving her that dose! I don't want to keep giving it but obviously she's in pain and it helps her. We just give her one dose in 24 hours and pretty much suffer through the day....but I mean I can't give her Motrin (or Tylenol....Motrin seems to work better) for the next 2-3 years!! LoL
She refuses ALL teething toys, cold wash clothes....everything. Refuses say cold fruit or ice in her mesh feeder. Refuses me rubbing her gums....I can't even touch the outside of her mouth to wipe her face!!
It's affecting her day naps. But night sleep is good cause she has her pain reliever!
Why is this taking so long?! I better see more than one tooth cut! LoL what should I do about pain relief?!
No temperatures, no pain elsewhere that's making her miserable, no sickness....no noticeable gas pain or anything....pretty much ruled out everything else!
