My Ds is teething and he is in a really bad way. He is irritable, fussing, feverish with bleeding gum. Won't eat any food. Not even chocolate!!!! It's been going on for days now and he won't sleep at night. I can't remember dd being that bad (maybe I have blocked it out?).
How long is this going to go on for? He is 2 years old and I think this is his last molars......
Anyone had really bad experiences with teething ? I need to know this is normal and just a passing phase. Please!

Mine wouldn't eat when getting his molars. I think that you can let this go without worrying too much, as long as they are drinking. Ds started eating again when his teeth stopped hurting. I would use a gum gel, and Calpol when necessary. It seems normal. Remember getting your molars? Painful business, and at least you could tell someone how horrible it was! Imagine being that young and in pain Calpol did help with the sleeping at least...
