And I'd be super hesitant to suggest to the parents to give tylenol. Tylenol and other pain relievers are only to be given when a child is in a lot of pain especially when they're under two. Teething doesn't even qualify for severe pain that would require a pain reliever. When given routinely everyday for teething it can cause more issues than solve them.
About 10 years ago there was a warning about fever reducers like Tylenol causing asthma if used routinely or often. Something about the acetominophen. I'd HIGHLY recommend against giving acetomenophen to any child under 5 unless they have a fever of 101 or higher and using something else for pain relief if there is no fever rather than give them acetomenophen.
It can also lead to liver and kidney failure, and poisoning of the heart
