Hi Mum2Willie
My daughter is now 18 months. She teethed quite early and it didn't stop until they were all through (I think she has a couple missing but thats about it). And I must say that the only thing that worked or helped her sleep was neurofen. Panadol didn't really do anything for her. Nerofen has anti-inflammatory properties that panadol doesn't.

Neurofen helped with the inflammatin of her gums and let her and us get some sleep.

I guess it depends on how desperate you get. But we were on the edge with no sleep at night and she was never a good day sleeper either.

During the day we would use cold or frozen teething rings. I also used frozen or near frozen pieces of fruit. You can also put wet facewashers in the freezer until they are really cold. My DD also liked to chew on them. (These are great for keeping them cool on hot days too...).

Good luck
