2 year molars - sleep help please

My 22 month old has always slept well generally 7-7 and goes into cot awake and settles no problem at night.....until now.

2 weeks ago she had hand foot and mouth and tonsillitis which disrupted her sleep terribly. She's now over that but has 3 of her back molars coming in. She's never coped well with teething and I thought the canines were bad especially all 4 coming in on the same week but this is something else.

I'm giving her calpol and nurofen at bed along with anbesol liquid and Ashton and parsons. She's waking multiple times crying and even with the next dose of medicines she's still in pain and can't settle back to sleep. Last night we were awake from 11-2am and then up for the day at 5.30am zzzzz. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and really struggling to cope with this.

Any tips on how to ease her pain other than what I'm giving her? I'm offering cold milk at night too as that seems to help and she's no doubt hungry as she's hardly eating during the day.

Can you let her sleep in your bed?

If only! We've never co-slept she's always slept in her cot and even when I've tried she is not interested and won't settle at all in our bed.

I've just been through similar with DS. I was about 2 nights away from moving his cot into our room as he doesn't like co-sleeping. Is there room next to your bed to put the cit with side down so you have easy access to her to settle?

Also can you squeeze in an extra dose of calpol/Nurofen before bed to build up the pain relief i.e if bed time is 7, give calpol at 4pm, Nurofen at 7pm?
