He has spent the last two nights screaming in pain and nothing we have tried made it better. We tried baby Tylenol, Motrin, Orajel and teethers. The Motrin works for a few hours but when it wears off, there is no calming him down, even if we give him more. We also have given it to him for 4-5 days in a row and I don't think you are supposed to give it for more than a week straight.
Any ideas what we can do for the poor guy to get him (and us) through the night?

There are 2 products made by Hylands - they are essentially herbal in nature and contain chamomile (or a derivative) along with some other ingredients. They make both tablets that dissolve on the tongue and a gel applied as orajel is applied. This helped our daughter but sounds like your guy is going through the really hard part. You can try these products - I could never find them at the big drug stores, always had to go the smaller or independant route.
Anyway, they seem to help sometimes in combination with baby Advil.
