My 5 week old is teething

Does anyone know of any medication at all my son can have at this age? He has 3 teeth coming through already and he's in constant pain! Barely sleeping and even when he does it for about 20 mins. He's so over tired all the time obviously because he don't sleep and he's permanently crying because of that and the pain from his poor teeth. I'm at my wits end and every teething gel or powder or pain relief I see for babies isn't suitable for children under 3 months ... does he really have to be in pain for 2 more months until he can use anything at all??

Any help will be amazing. Thank you!!

Maybe I shouldn't have, but I used anbesol on DS. I'm sure the label said 5 months but he started teething early, I think he was 3 months when he got his first tooth, so I used that. It made the world of difference for him.
