Comfort measures not helping: Try different approaches; consider medication
Won't eat at all: Focus on liquids; offer cold foods; call doctor if persists
Not sleeping for days: Call pediatrician; may need intervention
Fever appears alongside teething: Likely illness, not just teething — see Medical Triage SOP
Drool rash getting worse: Keep dry, apply barrier cream; see doctor if it looks infected
