How many nights do you give Tylenol/Motrin for teething?

I have been giving Tylenol to DD for the past few nights.  Last night I decided not to to see how she did.  She woke up every two hours just wimpering and clearly was uncomfortable.  Her top right tooth finally cut through butnow the left one is still taking its sweet time.  Is it wrong to give LO's Tyelnol or Motrin so often?

I have been giving my lo motrin every night for the last week or two.  I don't give him any during the day.  He is getting 3 teeth in a row on top and has been miserable only at night.  So it really helps him sleep.  I would think it would be fine. Call your pedi and ask if there is a limit on the number of days you can administer pain reliever.
