6 month old daughter teething

Hi.. I'm new to this so forgive me if I mess it up! :)

I'm a first time mom to a beautiful baby girl who was born 2 months prematurely due to my placenta rupturing suddenly in July. She's 6 months old now (4 & a half months corrected age) and is really beginning to really suffer with teething!

I'm sure there's no magical resolution for this but wondered if anyone had any advice for teething? She has been experiencing teething symptoms for over two months now and still hasn't cut one.
I have tried so many different things; teething toys, bonjela gel, amber teething necklace and bracelets, cold sliced veggies and fruit .. she either won't take it or it will only pacify her for a matter of seconds before the crying starts again. I've massively hit a wall I feel so helpless! The only thing that relieves her is crying hysterically until she tires herself out.

Any advice would be so much appreciated XX

Does Calpol help? My daughter also loves chewing on a wooden spoon

I do give her calpol which worked wonders at the beginning but now it's as if it's wore off within an hour of her settling down. It seems to be worse on the evenings too!
Haven't tried the wooden spoon I'll give that a go thank you xx

Anbesol liquid on gums is brilliant, can get it in most pharmacies.
