I think his is cutting a new tooth but I can't see it. I was able to feel a pointy type thing under his gums but there's nothing visible yet. He is crying a lot and I've tried everything from teething tablets to orajel. What can I do to comfort him? I've done the teething "toys" and I hate to see him in pain. He's also got a runny nose. Is that associated with teething? The mucus is clear so he doesn't have an infection, but his nose is stuffy and runny at the same time if that makes sense. What can I do to comfort him and is the runny/stuffy nose apart of teething?

He's already got 3 teeth, but he seems more fussy with this one. I guess it's because it's on the top now.

Sounds like teething to me. Try freezing a banana and then letting him chew on that. It tastes good, and it breaks apart so he won't choke on it. You can try a frozen carrot too. They don't break apart at all.
Try tylenol. If you don't know the dosage, call your doctor and find out. It's the best stuff for all aches and pains. It won't hurt him to have it and might even put him to sleep for a while.
The runny nose is part of teething. It will go away once the tooth is out.
The best thing for teething is cold. You can get the toys that you put in the fridge and they get cold and he can chew on them. My baby loves them!!
Talk to your pediatrician if none of this helps. They may suggest other things for you to try.

~~~Yes , a clear runny nose is a sign of baby teething. And if you do feel something under his gum, its probably a baby tooth, it is very painfull and the teething gel really doesnt last that very long because babys have so much saliva while teething that it gets diluted,,,,try this,,,,instead of teething toys,,,try giving your son a frozen waffle,,,,its tasty,,,its frozen and will desolve easy,,,and lots of hugs,,,,,,,,

Have you tried infant Tylenol? I used this and the Hyland's Teething tablets and my son breezed through his first few teeth.

Take him to the doctors.. There might be something else wrong with him.
