A. you can apply gummies gel over the gums and do massage with your finger wrapped in a wet cloth for relieving the irritation and pain of teething.in extreme case can give paracetamol also. for proper teething you can give calcium and vitamin D supplements to your baby as advised by your doctor .any other medicines may not be of much help so better avoid.it is not advisabl&7e to give any teether or pacifier to your child because it can be a source of infection if at all there is any mistake in maintaining good hygiene as well as it is habit forming so better avoid it for the betterment of your child.if still u wish to give maintain utmost hygiene and precautions.
