Do babies feel pain when they are teething?

My baby is 3 months old and is teething. I want to know if babies feel pain when they are teething?

Yes they feel pain.
It could be some pain
Most definitely, but their response to the pain can vary. Some babies will exhibit little to no discomfort. You just happen to “find” a new tooth in their mouth without realizing they were teething at all. Other babies are clearly uncomfortable with the most painful portion being when the teeth are actually breaking through the gum. Usually, once they finally get through the gym, the pain subsides.
Yes,
Babies may experience pain and therefore may be a little bit more fussier
than usual. You can try a dose of Tylenol to see if that helps.
