Hi, thanks for the question.

You may try Blue Poppy Pediatric Formula: Tender Teeth. You may get it from local acupuncturist or herbalist. I can also order this for you if you can't get it from a local practitioner. Here after is some information about this formula:

For infants suffering from insomnia, agitation, and night crying due to hyperactive life-gate/ministerial fire harassing above plus nonconstruction and malnourishment of the heart spirit, with or without teething. In Chinese medicine, teething per se is not a disease; it is a natural developmental milepost. However, teething is accompanied by pain and inflammation of the gums and may be accompanied by fever, restlessness, and insomnia. The use of this formula for pediatric teething is based on Bob Flaws’s 30 years of clinical experience as well as on the facts that babies have unstable spirits due to inherently immature construction and nourishment and that teething is associated with a cyclical hyperactivity of life-gate/ministerial fire. It can be used both preventively and remedially at the time of teething. However, this formula by itself is not for the treatment earache or high fever associated with teething. One or two droppers 2-4 times per day or as needed.
Take care and all the best.
