Teething pain – medication?

My poor 20 week old pup is struggling big time with teething. She’s whiny and obviously very uncomfortable, especially in the morning and evening.

We give her literally everything to soothe the pain, ice cubes, veggies, toys, frozen kongs and cloth- just to name a few. But she’s in pain anyway.

Last night she literally whined herself to sleep (she sleeps in my bed and loves it), and I wondered whether to give her some pain medication? Is it worth visiting the vet or will the vet just turn us down and tell us it goes over?

I’ve had dogs for 30+ years and can’t remember ever having a puppy who showed so much pain when teething.

She’s healthy otherwise, eats her food and is full of energy on walks and when we play / train. So I’m sure she’s not sick in any other way.
