Teething: What worked best for you?

[GoodPhariseeofDerby]

My DS2 is having an awful time since he began teething. I've used the same teething gel that my other 3 used, but it seems to be giving him little relief (and the calpol teething gel seemed to do nowt). His sleep and ability to take a nap have been badly effected as he's walking up a lot more and rolling around whimper quite a lot as well. So, in my sleep fog, I want to beg ask for product recommendations before google convinces me to buy a whole lot of strange things and I throttle my family and older friends who keep recommending whiskey...

I'm afraid none of the gels and powders I tried worked with DS1.

The only relief he got was from Calpol and sometimes even that was not enough and we had to alternate Calpol and Ibuprofen.

He was a terrible teether!

Paracetamol, ibuprofen and dentinox gel. Needed to be all 3.

currently have Ds2 asleep on me who is teething badly, Nurofen seems to be the only thing working and even then he was up every hour and then up for good at 4.30. He's so so miserable, not eating. Ds1 was never this bad.

Nelsons teetha granules. They certainly calm him enough to get a nap out of him, but he's still not actively teething (none are actually erupting) so who knows what'll work soon.

Ashtons powders, bonjela and calpol all together. Bickiepegs to chomp on in the daytime too.
