My baby started teething at four months and his symptoms are so severe with swollen gums. He cries a lot and refuses to eat.

My baby girl has just started teething before she turned four months and I feel for her. I have never heard her cry like this ever! Two teeth at a time are coming in. I thought she was hurting, so I went to the grocery store to return with Orajel and by then she was wailing. The poor little thing!
