Here are the teething symptoms: - Drooling - Irritability - Tooth visible below the gum - Swollen, bulging gums - Trying to bite, chew and suck on everything baby can get her hands on - Rubbing her face - Difficulty sleeping - Turning away food - Grabbing their ears. If your baby have diarrhoea, fever or running nose, do not dismiss it as a sign of teething especially if they last longer than 24 hours. You can try to soothe her by offering her teether, chilled teether or breast milk popsicle if you are breastfeeding. Symptoms can last for just a few days or for as long as several month. Different babies experience teething differently.
