15 weeks and teething

DS appears to have a tooth coming through - he's got a blister on a gum on the bottom of his mouth, is dribbling, chewing on the blister and chewing on his hands.

Is there anything I can do to help him? He's sleeping ok (usually roughly 8.30pm to 5am) and mostly isn't too bad during the day, but the couple of hours before bedtime are horrendous, he gets really angry and upset. A lot of the teething remedies only seem suitable for babies who are a little bit older, and it's difficult to find teething rings small enough to fit in his mouth (apart from Tommy Tippee dummy type ones that he chews for a while then takes out but can't manage to put back in, then drops and starts crying).

Any tips would be gratefully received!

U can use baby bonjela or calgel, they are both suitable for 2months plus.

Also Nelsons Teetha powders are good, just open the packet and pour the powder in their mouth, I try to get it between bottom lop and gun so they don't inhale any of it.

You can buy packs of little rings from asda that are good for chewing on, they are ment to be for attaching toys to things but they are perfect size for little hands and mouths.
