More like baby is hungry.
Avoid teether.
Crying is mainly due to feeding issue, for further evaluation you should visit nearby pediatrician.

Though 3 months is early for teething issues…but can occur.
Do give oral paracetamol to relieve irritation and excess crying.
We do not encourage teethers in view of chances of fomite borne infections.
