A. You can massage his gums gently with ur clean fingers once in a while. Give teether or carrots( only after six months) which he can munch with his gums to relieve the pain. Teether should be a BPA free one, cleaned and stored in hygienic place or refrigerated (in case of water teether) before giving it to the baby. In case of carrots, u can freeze the carrots and give. make sure they don't cause any choking hazard.. Keep the surrounding clean and hygienic as baby will tend to put everything in the mouth to ease the pain which is the main reason for diahrreah during teething.
