Its been 15 years since I had my last children. I think my baby is teething but I'm not sure. She burst out and screams for no reason and chews on anything she can. I give her teething oinement but not too sure if this is my issue. Doctors are no help.

If she's drooling and chewing then it's teething. My now-16-month-old had a similar issue and the pediatrician said, "oh it's too soon for him to teeth" but as parents we knew. Sure enough, 2 weeks later there were tooth buds. Rub her gums down with oragel and let her chew...remember the chewing helps the little toofies to break through and relieves their pain. Especially if her diapers are a little runny and a slight fever. Use your intuition, it's teething.

Yep, she's teething. I bought some teething rings and put them in the freezer (the cold helps numb the pain). There is also an ointment that you can rub on their gums to help with the pain, see your pharmacist.
Don't worry, it will be over before you know it!!

Yeah, she's teething.
Orajel, cool teething rings, and a bib to catch the drool are about all she needs. When she sits up and can handle finger food, you can also give her teething biscuits/zwiebeck cookies. My son loves them when he has that overwhelming urge to chomp down on something.
Good luck...it's not a fun time.

Oh poor you!! She's definately teething. With my girls I used a cold wet washcloth. It's inexpensive and as soon as it gets warm for the baby it's fast and easy to cool it. Also motrin for infants works wonders. That should ease her pain and help her rest better. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

You got it..teething...rub her gums in ora gel and give her baby tylenor for the pain. Also freeze a wash cloth and let her chew on that or a frozen bagel....Good luck, it only gets better.

Yeah that sounds like teething. My baby is 8 months old and just cut his sixth tooth.

There are these dissolvable all natural pills called teething tablets (at walmart, or any other pharmacy) and they really help with teething! Good Luck

Certainly sounds like teething. Give her cold things to chew on, and keep alternating between infant tylenol, and infant ibuprophin (mortin or advil).
It will help with the pain.
