Hello
Thanks for the query
Teething in this age can cause irritability and excessive cry.Giving paracetamol as an analgesic and gentle massage of gum helps.
First clean your hand and then massage the gum gently with finger and apply anesthetic gel like clenora (containing lignocaine).
This will help in relieving pain.
Rule out other causes of irritability.Whether he is passing stool and urine normally.
If the irritability persists consult your pediatrician for clinical examination and to rule out other possible causes.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to ask any further query.
