My poor Caiden has four molars coming in at once! we discovered this after a pediatric appointment when we thought a severe ear ache had actually been herpangina ( I kid you not! as much as the name sounds like it belongs in a gynecologist office

it really is an ear infection with sores in the back of the throat) He hadn't been able to eat much but yogurt ( he doesn't like icecream as it is TOO cold) and cold milk, he would accept VERY little anything else and was afraid of food as swallowing hurt! so now that the whole herpangina has been cured his teeth are still preventing him from eating proper! he will eat only two or three bites of something soft I've made him to take it out and throw it on the floor and cry, he will drink though, so at least I know he is alright fluid wise, but I am greatly worried! I've used orajel which does diddly squat but just piss him off more, I've done Anbesol JR which helps alot better but does't last for too long, I've even tried the whole Wiskey rub on the gums...that was rather amusing as he seemed to enjoy it so I really do not want to resort to it again

so what do I do?! any other remedies out there that actually will help him?
