12 month old wont eat or drink

Please help! My 12 month old DD is teething very badly, she is getting 2 bottom molars which are raised and very sore.
She is crying lots, won't eat anything except banana, won't drink milk or water and is barely sleeping. Nurofen seems to take the pain for a little while so she is happier but she still won't let anything in her mouth at all. She barely slept last night from the pain and this has been going on for 3 days.
What else can I do/try?

Not sure, but how about making her healthy puree ice lollies or milk lollies etc - The cold will ease the pain and she might like the novelty. At least it'll get something into her. My DS1 used to love them.

Other than that Bonjella and Dentinox straight onto the gums but you probably know that anyway.

Puree ice lollies is a good idea. I shall try making them tonight. Thank you

Let me know whether it works for her

She might eat yoghurt. Good luck.

Try Anbesol liquid - I swear by it. It has a local anaesthetic so totally numbs the area, plus being a liquid they can't lick it off!

Will she eat bread? If so my ds2 has been teething quite badly and I bought some of the squeezy laughing cow cheese spread and he seems to love it on bread and butter, probably because it is nice and cold.

Try medised, it clears up runny noses and will help her sleep. My ds's both get really runny noses when teething.
