We're up to 5 teeth now, with the 6th one coming any day now. It gets better with each new one, although I hear that molars are a different story.
Orajel didn't do much for Max, although he does still get it from time to time. During the day, he's not too bad, but he's a real PITA at night about it. We usually give him a half dose of Tylenol at night if it looks like it's going to be bad. During the days, we sometimes give him frozen teethers, but he doesn't always like those. A lot of time, we just let him work on one toy for as long as he wants and that seems to help.
It gets better.
