Don't forget that quite a few of the older teething rings on the market have phthalates in the plastic to act as softeners - don't know about the US, but the EU have just baned all phthalates from children's toys and teethers.
Freeze some carrots - or use frozen oven chips (fries). The gnawing helps the teeth along, and the food is pretty nutritious too.
For any child that is having trouble sleeping I was recommended to give Piriton paediatric elixir (this by my brother who is a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon). It's an anti-histamine, so helps keep the swelling to a minimum, and has the added side effect that it acts as a mild sedative - but don't take my word for it - ask your pharmacist.
Don't forget that too much paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol) causes irreversible fatal liver damage. No NOT fuck about with that stuff.
