For how many consecutive days can I give Advil to a baby for teething pain?

It is recommended to use ibuprofen for babies only when necessary, while acetaminophen should be preferred for pain relief for teething. Other methods to alleviate teething discomfort include gently rubbing the baby's gums with a cold, damp washcloth, letting them chew on a rubber teething ring, or massaging their gums with a soft-bristled baby toothbrush. It is important to monitor the baby for any signs of stomach discomfort and to avoid giving ibuprofen on an ongoing basis.
