Hi,

Amy had symptoms for weeks before her teeth actually cut through but the one constant has been that the night before her tooth is through, she wakes up almost every hour. I know it's her tooth though cos she never does it otherwise. Plus the tooth is just below the surface for a couple of days. It's really quite obvious when there's a tooth about to pop through.....starts out as little dots on the gum and then the day or two before it turns into a line and looks really sore. I swear by bonjela and sometimes (very rarely) panadol if she seems to be in distress.
