My puppy is teething and in a lot of pain. How can I help?

My 4 month old puppy is teething and in a lot of pain. We have numerous chew toys, frozen chews/treats/carrots, and frozen towels for her, but none seem to be doing the trick. Do you have any other suggestions? I hate seeing her like this and am desperate to help her.

Poor Aurora. I'd take her into a vet in the morning. She may need pain medication, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to puppies and can be fatal if given.
