Teething can be a stressful time for both parents and infant.
There are, however, some things you can do as a parent to relieve an infant's mild to moderate discomfort. As the parent of a teething baby you should first be aware that 'teething' is not an illness. Normal teething rarely causes fever, and then only low-grade. Normal teething is also not acutely painful, rather more like a dull ache or persistant, annoying nuisance. If your baby has a fever, or seems to be suffering from a great deal of pain, you should seek the advice of your physician, as the problem is probably related to something other than teething.
