Baby 16 weeks, teething big time, tried giving him biscuits, what else can I try?

[BabbaMamma]

I've tried the bicki peg organic baby biscuits and he's sat holding it to his mouth and chewing it himself right now so he definately needs it, and he likes it, but he's already managed to bite a chunk off it and I don't want him eating biscuits.

He LOVES bonjella, bites it off my finger, but I can only give him it every three hours and he cries when I stop.

He doesn't like teething rings and toys, even if they're cold, because he thinks he's getting fed and then he gets annoyed that they don't taste and he's not eating IYKWIM.

I've given him paracetamol but his little cheeks are still bright red, he's drolling like mad, biting his hands and crying.

What can I try?

SmugColditz she has already given him paacetamol, I don't think she was after a medal.

Nurofen then.

I'm definately taking everything on board, thanks so much. I worry about giving him an ice cream headache because that's what I get when I have anything cold in my mouth, so I'm really chuffed you've mentioned the cold flannel as it's a bit less harsh than cold teething rings and stuff, and I never would have thought of it!

My dd is 17wks and I think she has started teething too. Poor wee thing was crying lots today so gave her calpol before bed. Everything goes in her mouth!

Do you just put a clean flannel in the fridge and then they chew it???

I gave Bas calpol today (he is being weaned but wouldn't eat- early weaning on advice of Paeds) and it worked fine, I've always done that with the others tbh, but as I said the granules seem to work too.
