How to Relieve a Toddler's Teething Pain

By Ellie Ward

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Tylenol for kids or Motrin for kids
Oragel for kids
Rubber toys they can chew on

Step 1:
Relieve their pain with children's Tylenol or Motrin, especially before bedtime. Kids wake up often through the night and cry from the pain of teething.
Step 2:
Rub their gums with Oragel for kids. Be careful, as they may bite hard. Push your finger to the side of their mouth, not in the middle.
Step 3:
Have rubber toys handy and give them to the toddler to chew on. Kids get tired of the same toy. Have at least 2 different toys.
Step 4:
Take toddlers to parks and outside for walks as often as possible to distract them from their teething.
