Hi, my DS2 is nearly 4 months old, dribbling like mad and teething.

Don't know if the two are connected but he keeps crying and clutching/rubbing at his head as if he's got a headache or something don't know if its a temper (sort of) thing, when he's stressed and crying, he doesn't do it ALL the time, just rubbing his head/ears when crying..by rubbing i mean dragging his hands over his head/ears?

Thanks

Ear rubbing is often an indication of tiredness. Might be mixed up with teething pain too.

I'd check temperature and give a small dose of Calpol.
