Big hugs Monnie. Teething is so hard, and cross-cutting is worse (both mine did too). And it is early so you mustn't have been expecting it yet. As well as gel, you can try panadol and cold things to chew on. You can get teething rings that you put in the fridge and they go cold. You can also put a wet flannel in the fridge for them to chew on. My boys loved chewing cold things when teething.

I hope it passes soon for you, I guess the only comforting I can really say is that at least it might be over with more quickly given the early start, and often the first few teeth are the worst, so the next lot might give you all a whole lot less grief. GL.
