Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Teething Cause Fever And Stuffed Nose In Babies?
My 10 month old is teething. He's got 5 teeth through and hasn't had any problems with them as far as fussiness, runny nose, fever, etc. Today he has become very fussy with a fever of 100.8 and extremely stuffy with a runny nose. He woke up from his sleep just a little bit ago so we checked in temperature which it is still at 100.8, but he was shivering quite a bit. Is this something to be concerned about?
Hello. I just read through your question. It is true that teething can often be accompanied by low grade fever and/or runny nose. However, if these symptoms persist beyond 2-3 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor, just as a precaution.
