My baby isnt even five months yet and already cut her first tooth and giving her alot of pain the teething powder didnt agree with her and the bonjela onky eases the pain for a minute or two. Any suggestions?

Nurofen. Calpol.
My older baby is cutting four at the same time, and he is miserable. Our GP said don't be precious about giving him calpol, especially at night.

It makes me feel like a useless parent, but it has resulted in fewer tears.

I second what callamia said, neurofen and calpol are the only things that have kept us sane through the first two teeth.....
