H.T.
I know this will sounds crazy, but my aunt suggested it to me and it really did help my children and my nefew. Have her chew on frozen mini burrittos(the full sized are to big). The fact that they are frozen will help to numb pain and is soothing as well as helping cool fevers. They are precooked, so safe to eat. Realisticly she is not going to be able to chew into it so no mess, think of it instead as the perfect little fingers sized flavored teething toy. The hardness will help stubborn teeth break through and the cost of an appitizer box of mini burrittos is usually around four dollars. My seven year old soon was the worst teether of our six children. His teeth came in two at a time (literally two within a 24 hour period almost every time). He had the high fevers and I hated to give him so much tylennol which is all the doctor recomended(we've switched pediatricians since). While I couldn't do much for him other than cuddles in desperation I started asking around for ideas. This really did seem to sooth him and helped those teeth break through faster which was a blessing! I did have to hand him a couple on different occasions because it was different before he caught on, but he caught on by day two and I started seeing those smiles I had been missing again!
