Any Suggestions?

Alright, Maddox is still quite punky this morning. His lips, gums, and tongue have canker sores all over them and he was up every 30 minutes last night crying. I called the doctor and they want to see him tomorrow or Tuesday unless he stops nursing and having wet diapers. He just constantly seems like he's in pain and tired. He hasn't had a fever since Thursday night, but we've been giving him Tylenol when he seems to have pain. I was wiping his teeth this morning (instead of using a brush because the brush seems to harsh) and his gums were bleeding. I just feel so bad for him and if anyone has any ideas/suggestions we'd love to hear them.

Have you tried Children's Benedryl to help him sleep yet?

No, I'll try that. All he's had is the Tylenol. Thanks for the suggestion!

How did he do? -Nora

Better last night, but he's woken up crying 3 times today during his nap. He usually sleeps 3+ solid hours for a nap and he's only been down 1 hr 45 min and he keeps waking up. I think it's because we're at the end of the last dose of Tylenol. Poor guy. I just feel so bad. You just want to make it all better.
