Already moms plz help in regards to teething

Thank you in advance for any responses. I know it may seem way early, but my son is almost 2.5 months old and according to the pharmacist and my good friend who is pediatrician they say he is showing signs of teething. The past few days he has been very fussy and not eating as much as he used to. He hasn't slept well, hes been drooling ALOT, he keeps sticking his fists in his mouth and rubbing them side to side (thought maybe he was hungry, but he didn't eat.) Hes warm to touch but thankfully no fever. He has tried to chew on his bottles, pacifiers and i even gave him a teether toy. I wanted some advice from moms, anyone ever experience this at such a young age?!

Totally possible, my son showed signs of teething at 2months, but he didn't cut his first tooth until 5months. Apparently the teeth can move up and down and cause discomfort.

My son had the same thing. He didn't get teeth until he was 6 months though. But it was the teeth moving in the gums preparing to come through

My dentist recommended letting my son knaw on a cold wet wash cloth as it helps to keep them hydrated as well as soothe their gums.

Try and place his teether in the fridge to cool it down, the cold will help him. Also there are tiny little toothbrushes you can buy and use from birth, these are very soft but can help with teething. (I'm from the UK so unsure where you would buy them elsewhere).
