Teething is an absolute nightmare.
What we've found with Ben is if we see his discomfort early enough from teething, we give him Motrin to take the pain away. This works well, and often his tone will decrease. BUT, if we don't pick up on the teething discomfort right away, then the teething pain causes severe increase in tone, and the Motrin does't help at all, because it's too late. By then, he's uncomfortable because of tone first, then the teething pain second. Hope this helps.
