Hi
Calpol can be safely given for teething troubles if they are obvious. Teethers can be used to satisfy their urge of biting in these days.
Emeset is a drug useful to treat vomiting and doesn't help in acidity.
Lanzol junior 15 mg can be given in case acidity is obvious on clinical examination.
I find this answer helpful
