could he be teething?

[magicfairy]

DS is four months and has been a bit out of sorts for a couple of days now, am wondering if he is teething? He has suddenly got a cough and runny nose, after getting over a cold just before christmas, he is VERY dribbly, at least 3 sodden bibs a day (this has been for a couple of weeks now), he wants to gnaw at everything aswell. But since yesterday he has been being sick more than normal and is pooing loads, he normaly does 2 poos a day, yesterday it was 9! Oh yeah he aslo has the starts of nappy rash, never had before and he is on and off very upset. One minute he is all smiles and happy and content then the next minute he is screaming with tears!
Does this sound like teething or should i take him to the docs? also does anyone have any advice?

sounds like teething if you asre in any doubt though take him to the docs ours are quite good with that and gave us some calpol (so at least you'll save some cash)
m,y daughter always gets a spotty bum and red cheeks when shes getting a tooth, if he is teething try anbosol oil thwey have it in boots for kids and grownups its ace!!

Could be. My dd's first two teeth came through when she was 4 and a half months. She then had 16 teeth by the time she was 11 months.

Poor you. Medised helped us with the pain at night. Also, homeopathic teether granules which we bought from Boots seemed to help.
