Maybe you can try that plastic teething object you put in the freezer, the cold might sooth him. Some people would use also frozen bagel but I would not reccomend it because you always have the risk that when the bagel defreeze the baby can swallow a piece of it.

Sometimes they prefer a cold wet washrag like the baby ones instead of the teething ring. I know mine goes to town on one when he is in the tub. :)

With my kids, I would freeze fruit in ziplock bags. Apples, bananas, grapes, pears. Offer the fruit to child in highchair. It will get messy.
Offer child good quality yogurt "brown cow, mountain high", slightly frozen. I also used a homeopathic remedy with my kids: "Hylands", "Homeopathic Teething Gel". It comes in a small tube 1/3 oz. It's 100%, and has no side effects. It works great. I hope these suggestions help.
