Up all night crying- is it teething?

[MrsBick]

Hi there,
My DS (6mths) usually sleeps thru and is quite cheerful most of the time...the last two nights have been hellish... up crying from 1am-6am, doesn't want to be put down, doesn't want to eat....could he be teething? DH has just started new job too so it means i have him all day and all night during the week- rather than shifts we usually do.
Tried calpol- doesn't seem to affect it. any other suggestions?
PLEASE HELP

Could be, have you tried denternox (sp) for there gums? My lo is 9 months old and when he is struggling at night with teeth we rub this on and it seems to help. Medised is also very good when its really bad!

thanks for your quick replies.
he has a slight temp, has been dribbling for about two months (picture family sat on sofa in kagools) not pulling at his ears tho... red cheeks and not wanting to eat. during the day he will be fine for a bit, then start grumbling and sometimes just burst out crying like he's hurt himself. so horrible to watch.
how long will it last? seems to have been building up for ages, can't see the teeth yet but can feel one under the gum, will it take long to break dya think?
Got some of the A&P powder but not the denternox.
Thanks again. xx

could go on for a while im afriad but you will get breaks, my ds only has 2 teeth and it feel's that the other one has been " breaking" through for weeks and weeks but nothing!

Good Luck! x
