What are symptoms of a baby who is teething? How long will symptoms last?

Answer 1

Some babies never seem to have any problems with teeth, but some are in a lot of pain. The symptoms include crying and a lot of chewing. They generally last until the tooth actually pops out of the gum; with a first tooth, some babies are in pain on and off for a couple of months. Later teeth aren't usually this severe, although a baby who has an easy time with the first tooth can sometimes have a lot of pain with a later one. It's very individual.

Answer 2

It depends which tooth or teeth are coming through, but here are some general symptoms.

- cranky (crying)
- lots of drool (mouth water)
- red cheeks
- diaper rash
- slight fever
- could have green diarrhea
- loss of appetite

You can help soothe a teething baby by dipping your clean finger in ice water and massaging the baby's gums. Also, give them a teething toy or hard crust, frozen crust of bread to chew.

If the pain is very bad, you can get a teething gel from the pharmacy for use at night so that everyone can get some sleep.

Answer 3

drooling is a very good indication as well as a rash on the bottom.
Chewing on fingers or what ever they can get a hold of really. Red Cheeks crankiness that is not normally there, they may not want to eat as much, a slight elevated fever. How long does this last well it could be ongoing till all the teeth come in or it could be a stop and go thing like my daughter and only occurs during eruption which is when the tooth is breaking through the skin.

Hope this helps, it could be a long journey

Answer 4

excessive crying, biting ,drooling, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, are all involved with teething, symptoms last from 1 to 7 days depending on the child, and the number of teeth being cut, this can be very exhausting for both the child and parents, remember to be patient.Tylenol for infants, Orajel, and cold teething items help with pain. If all these things fail to work see your pediatrician

Answer 5

From my experience the baby cries a lot, drools and tends to bite anything and everything. If you open her mouth you may notice the gum looks a bit swollen. How long does it last? until the last tooth pops - a couple months.

Please note,she shouldn't have a fever. If she does, have her checked out by the doctor. home remedy?- have her suck on a cool teething ring or gnaw on melon from the fridge.

Answer 6

well, teeth coming out thru the mouth would be a big clue. be sure to talk to a doctor if there are teeth coming out anywhere else. and my guess is a babys symptoms will last until all the teeth come in.

Answer 7

My little girl started teething at around 3 months or so. She drooled A LOT! And would try to chew on anything. She got her first teeth (her bottom ones) when she turned 8 months old. Good Luck!

Answer 8

crankiness/fussiness
drooling
biting down on things
fever is not as common, but does occur for some children

a teething ring put in the freezer should help ease the symptoms. the baby's gums usually itch or feel irritated during this time. even a cool damp washcloth is good relief for them, plus it helps when you massage their gums and clean the new teeth as well.

Answer 9

drooling, trying to bite everything that she can put in her mouth. sometimes they run low fevers. this continues until the teeth actually do come in.

some home remedies for the teething is carrots that have been quartered. beef jerky, teething meds.

i had better luck with pickles. the pickle juice is a natural pain reliever and it worked great.

Answer 10

red cheeks, running nose, irritable, always has something in her/his mouth. It could last weeks and will vary from tooth to tooth. A face cloth with cold water is a GREAT natural way to help as the cold lessens the pain and baby will love to chew and suck on the cloth. A pain reliever at night might help him/her sleep through the pain as well.
