Teething hell :( Any tips?

I think it's safe to say my girl is definitely teething. She has been drooly and clingy for the past few weeks, but these past few days have been awful. She is so fussy, chewinng her hands like crazy, and is fighting naps and bedtime something awful. She just wants to nurse/cuddle all day long. But with an active toddler to entertain that's pretty much impossible, so I feel like we are all crabby and miserable.

anyone have any tips/suggestions? Tylenol and/or motrin? I used to use these little teething tablets with Zoey, but I can't seem to find them anywhere so I think they were recalled or discontinued or something...

    Isaiah has been teething as well...his first tooth just came through!!! Yay!!!  Anyway, I gave him tylenol at night and occassionally during the day if he was real fussy.  I tried to give him teething rings, but he didn't want to chew on them just play with them.  So I took a cold wash cloth and showed him to put it in his mouth.  He would chew on it like you wouldn't believe and I think that helped and is still helping, he is still teething the other tooth on the bottom is on its way in.

    The Hyland's tablets were recalled, but they still sell Humphrey's which are similar.  Those worked awesome with my first.  We do Tylenol as needed and give him things to chew on as much as possible.  I keep meaning to try the cold/frozen washcloth trick.

    I literally jumped up and down in the pediatrician's office the day they told me Joey had all his teeth. This part is so awful.

    We are going through this too.  Last week was rough. I can see the outline of two on the bottom, but they haven't broke through yet.  DS loves chewing on a frozen stuffed washcloth whale thingy that came with our washcloth set from Target and he'll also chew on his Winkel.  He is not at all interested in the actual teething toys we have.  I gave Tylenol when he seemed really in pain because he was also running a low-grade fever (99-100) and it seemed to help some.

    The things that worked for my LO:

    Cold wash cloth (not frozen, just cold)

    Bananas in the mesh food feeder bag

    Orajel

    Empty baby bottle nipple (he hates paci's and only wants to chew on the nipple of a bottle, so we took out the bottle part and left the nipple in the nipple holder and gave him that to chew, he was happy)

    My little finger (clean of course)

    We used tylenol but I think it is so hard to try and figure out when he actually needs it. The vulli vinilla teether seemed to be the only teether that Jay would chew on and be happy with. It was a pink lamb I think. We have two teeth and I think he is getting another one because the teething is starting all over the drool, the fussines etc.

     this is his FAVORITE!!

    Also, we use Little Teethers (like Orajel), Tylenol, wet washcloth (also frozen but you have to run it under water first or it's just too hard)
