To relieve the pain of teething, a common recommendation is to give the child acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra, or similar brands). You can also offer a cold damp towel for them to chew on. It is important to avoid giving ice cream or solid food to a child of this age. It is best to provide cool rather than frozen temperatures for relief, and consistency in the temperature of breast milk is important for the child's comfort and acceptance.
