Have a 16mo DD, her first 2 molars have popped through and whilst it was pretty bad it wasn’t unmanageable.
She’s had a viral cold for the last week so has been a bit up and down, and has been rubbing her ears so I assumed her other molars were coming through too at the same time - though no obvious signs when I feel for them.
She woke up from her nap today absolutely inconsolable.. cried for half an hour and wouldn’t take a dummy or be soothed at all. Sounded like a real pain cry, was rubbing her ear and I thought oh god ear infection. I called 111 and gave some calpol. They heard her screaming and asked a paediatrician to phone me back within the hour. Well typically, she’s now up, eating a biscuit, clapping at the tv - I’m guessing the calpol has kicked in!
Is that a normal level of pain for teething? I’ll still speak to them when they call but she was really inconsolable, I’ve never seen her like that before.
