I have a teething question?

My daughter is 12 month's and she is teething. She does not want to eat however, she is drinking alot. She also has diarrhea and she is very miserable; I know that it is because she is teething. I was just wondering if any of you mothers have any home remedies that I can do to make her more comfortable? She has become a newborn again because she is waking me up 2 to 3 times at night and very fussy.

Thank you ladies for responding..

    My friend with six children gave me this recipe.

    Sprinkle sugar on a thin slice of onion, then wrap it in Saran wrap and refrigerate for a few minutes. When it starts turning in to a gel, rub some of the gel on her gums.

    It works like magic!

    have you tried giving her infants tylenol. i would give her some of that when she really starts to get fussy. you can also give her a cool teething ring to chew on. my daughter is 15 months and a few weeks ago she started getting her 1 year molars. i have noticed that she likes to eat food that she can chew on back there that sort of helps with the teething. i have given her some cold grapes from the fridge and she like to chew them with the back teeth coming in. i think the cold helps. i've seen people give teething kids frozen french fries to chew on. i would find something that she likes to chew on to help.
