Brief Answer:
Acetaminophen and teething gel.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You can give him acetaminophen for pain to help with pain.
You can give him also an iced gummy toy to put on mouth.
Also you can give him liquid foods, soup , milk , to sip through pipe.
Don't give him much fruit juices because they are highly acidic which can make pain worse.
You can also put mouth gel which you may have used him while teething twice daily.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
