...does it take for the tooth to come up / the pain to be over once it has cut through the gum?

DS first tooth cut through his gum on Saturday afternoon. He will not let me in his mouth to look at it, but I can feel a sharp little tooth just slightly poking through. Since then he has been inconsolable at night unless dosed up on calpol, and he is off his solids.

What is everyone's experience of how long it takes for the tooth to be up and the teething to be done (for this tooth anyway!) once it has broken through the gum?
