It could be teething from what you have described. However some kids will do this for ages before a tooth finally pops through and others will behave like this and wake up with a tooth the next day.

The teething ring should help, or if he is on solids you could try a rusk.

If he is really uncomfortable, I found the hylands teething tablets work really well.

Definitely sounds like teething. My DS would get rosy cheeks, drooling, general whinging, off his food a bit (I think he didn't like things near his mouth), wakeful at night, and with his molars he would get a sore bottom and a slight temperature.

Hope your little one is feeling more like himself soon. You could also try a dose of panadol at night if he is uncomfortable.

Sounds like teething to me. Poor little bubba...

:iagree: The hylands teething tablets are a godsend. I used to give these to DD instead of panadol. All natural, and IMO they work better too :yes:
