I work in the infant section of my daycare (i am lead teacher) and I know that we are having a virus going around where they throw up and also have very runny nasty b/m. Don't just assume that it is teething. Check her gums to see if they are swollen if you really think that she is teething but as everyone else has said the best thing to do is call your Dr.

My dad put some liquor on my first daughters gums when she was teething and she stoped crying. Oh and I did not give him permission to do it my ex husband did.

I had a friend whose dad did that all the time, it got to the point that she would calm down by just seeing the bottle

With joseph I used teethers from the freezer, freeze a washcloth or wet it with cold water and tie it in aknot for them to chew, when he was alil older I would let him gnaw on frozen waffles, someone at my work told me back then letting them gnaw on a carrot but ive never tried it lol so I dunno about that one. They have hylands teething tablets but I was afraid to use those on joseph at all cuz they dont dissolve as fast as they say they do. I dont know that theres a age on them they are homeopathic

If they like a banana and can eat them then freezing a banana can be good as a comfort

I would only recommend foods and frozen foods if you have previously screened them with your child for possible allergic reactions.

This is all irrelevant though, as her child is most likely sick and not teething.

Look, I wasn't trying to be mean.
I was simply stating, from reading your posts, you are giving out advice from what you've "experienced." but how much could you really experience having no children and being 15?
Exactly.

Octoberbaby, do *not* give your 3 month old orajel. Take her to the Dr. Her stool isn't right and she's vomiting yellow...

Teethin can though cause teething diarrhea, but not yellow vomit.

Yeah I agree I think she is sick and not teething. Has she been congested lately?

Gastro's going around.

Also orajel should not really be given to any babies, you have to be very carefull when giving it because it can numb their throat and they can choke. I used these herbal capsules that you would break one open and he'd drink the liquid. Crap can't remember what it was called but it was the shiznit,

Wow I come back on here & there are 30 some replies! Thanks a lot everyone, & I didn't give her any orajel. I have it here because I was told to buy some for when she started teething but I don't feel comfortable using it so i'm not even going to bother with it.

I've checked her temperature a few times today & it's been fine every time. She only spit up that yellow gunk once & it wasn't much, it reminded me of when she was born & had flem for a couple weeks only it was a bright yellow. I've been keeping a real close eye on her though & i'm going to make an appointment to get her into the doctor first thing tomorrow morning. I gave her a little infant tylenol & she seems to be feeling better, she's playing & smiling rather than screaming like she was doing all morning!!!

As for the teething, i've looked a lot of info up online about it & with the symptoms that i've seen online, she drools a lot especially the last 2 weeks or so, she's had pretty nasty diapers, & I don't know if it's a sign of anything but when she gets cranky if I let her chew on my finger (after it's washed of course!!!!) she just goes right to town with it. Maybe she's not teething.. I don't know, you ladies know way more about this than I do & I really .Really appreciate all the advice!!

Oh & no she hasn't been congested at all. Just very cranky.

Thanks again everyone!

Ava was cranky with unusual spit up and nasty bowel movements and it was a mild virus.

The virus that music is talking about is called rotavirus and it is very contagious. The bm's and puke have a very distinctive smell normally. I work on the pediatrics floor at my hospital and it has started showing up a bit and should be picking up more within the next month or so. I would def contact your pediatrician because many babies with this virus get dehydrated quickly and have to be given fluids.

Please let us know what the doctor says! I hope your baby feels better soon!

wow I didn't know anything about a rotavirus...

Thanks again & .I'll let you guys know what's going on!

There's a shot called .Rota.Teq. To prevent future occurrences.

Sarah

Okay, .I'll definetly look into that.

Thanks .Sarah

.You ladies are awesome!
