I've heard that the baby orajel works wonders, my son is almost 5months too and I just make sure he has plenty to chew on lol

Thanks so much @jaderbug my sister mentioned teething tablets as well so ill give those a try

Teething tablets might work. They don't work for every baby. And a lot of people are iffy about them so I would do a little research before choosing a brand. If that doesn't work I would try teething toys. Ones you put in the freezer and then let him just chew on it. Warm wash clothes or cool wash cloths. They also have a pacifier called "razz berry". It looks like a raspberry with a leaf. And it pretty big but it's gummy and has bumps on it. My daughter loved it until she grew out of it. Lol
