What to do about teething pain?

Question

I have a 3 month old boy. I am not sure, but I think his gums are working. He puts absolutely everything in his mouth and has a red bottom (the diaper brand change was over 2 weeks ago and I put him on SUDOCREAM). Is there anything I can do about his irritation? For his gums, is he too young for ice milk in a pacifier? Hello, Thank you very much I wasn't talking about ice cream, I was talking about my breast milk that I would freeze for relief

Good morning, ma'am, Taking acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra and other brands) remains the first-line treatment for teething pain You can also use a towel with cold water and give it to your child: you can let him chew your finger through the towel, but do not leave him with the towel unattended You should not give ice cream or food to a child of this age. I hope I've been helpful, don't hesitate if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist I'm sorry, I misread! However, cold temperature is better than ice cold. That being said, if you are giving her milk at body or room temperature, I would not recommend giving her milk at a different temperature for fear of affecting the acceptability of the milk.
