Teething hell

I'm currently on night 2 of pretty much no sleep due to how upset my poor DD is from teething (she's 16 months with 8 teeth already, so I think it's molar/s coming through).
I've been giving calpol and ibuprofen which seems to offer some relief but doesn't last the 4 hours until she can have the next dose. Teethers which she used previously she's not interested in - it seems even sucking on her dummy is too painful for her, and any remotely hard food is out.
I'm just at a loss of what else I can do to help relieve her pain, and worried that this isn't normal - I remember reading somewhere teething shouldn't be so painful it causes sleepless nights for them?
Any advice would be gratefully received!

Ashton & Parsons teething powder.

Worked fantastically for both of mine.

I second teething powders, my DD used be like a hungry bird and open her mouth for it. Hope you both get some relief from it.
