Jen, have you tried Brauers Teething Relief? It's homeopathic and I LOVE it. I've gone through bottles of the stuff with Ben. When his teeth are bad, he goes and gets the syringe for it, brings it over to me and points at it. I am much happier using it rather than Nurofen or Panadol - especially over extended time periods. Our nurofen hardly gets used at all now whereas with his earlier teeth, we went through far too much. It might be worth trying. I just get it from a local chemist.
