My son used to get ear infections with teething. I'm not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with the swelling in his facial area blocking drainage. It also made for confusion if he tugged or held that area. It all looked the same.

teething
I have tried, and liked, using teething tablets. The brand I have are Hyland's. I got them at Eckerd Drug Store. They are real small little pills and you put them under their tongue. They dissolve quickly, so you don't have to worry about them choking on them. They numb the mouth and it seems to last a little longer than Oragel. I have used these for both of my kids with good results.
Also, you can rub the Tylenol directly on the gums too. This seems to help as well.
Good luck. I can relate, my 11-month-old is going through the same thing right now.
Take care
Teething
My pediatrician suggests a clean chicken bone to bite down on or a clean corn cob to "scratch" the gums with. The washcloth is the same principle. It's the texture that gives them some relief as much as the coolness.
I'm thinking he might have something else going on besides teething especially if since the...
the fever keeps creeping back up between the Motrin and Tylenol doses.
when I was 12 I had my appendix out...I could not even walk...had a fever...
was vomiting bile. The most painful memory was the doctor trying to lay me down on the table, and everytime he would try to straighten my legs out, I would sit up, when he would lay be down, my legs would go back up (haha), but I mean it was so painful the only position I wanted was a fetal one!
If you have it, you would also have a fever, be vomiting bile. Have you tried talking to the doctor, I mean, he told you it is not appendicitis, did he tell you what he thinks it is? How 'bout going to an emergency care center (not an emergency room)?
Do you have a fever?? Gosh, hope you are going to be okay...
Oops! .. Fever few probably not effective for
headaches related to tension/muscle strain.
it is listed under fever, but the two words are
not interchangeable. 
Anyone's kids had really high fevers when teething? - sm
My son, who will be 2 next week, has had a high fever off and on the last three days. He has his last two teeth coming in, and he also got sick a couple weeks ago while we were on vacation and two teeth were coming in at that time. That lasted about two days, but he didn't have a high fever, just a low grade fever and throwing up. I've been giving him Tylenol and Motrin to keep the fever at bay, but it seems to start to creep back up before four hours has gone by when I can give him some more medicine. He didn't have any problems with his other teeth coming in, and it looks like the new ones have already broken through. Any insight is appreciated!
They made him lose 20 pounds for Saturday night fever, so he's always
Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)
