Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain swollen and painful gums at the time of teething is commonly seen and occurs due to pressure of the erupting teeth that leads to tearing of the gums at the site of erupting teeth and causes pain and swelling.

I would suggest you to do cool compresses as it will reduce inflammation and pain..
Apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the gums for relief..
You should also continue giving tylenol or a combination of tylenol and Ibuprofen for relief..
You can also give him plenty of cool milk and other cool fluids..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
