Could Teething Cause Fever And Runny Nose?
My 6 month old son had a fever last night and now has a runny nose. He isnt eating as much as he usually does and is breastfeeding a little less than usual as well. I have noticed though that he has discomfort from the mouth - teething. Could this be an attribute to the fever and runny nose?

Hello. I just read through your question. Teething has been known to cause runny nose and low grade fevers. It also frequently causes irritability. So your son's behavior is not unusual. However, if the symptoms persist for more than 2-3 days, or the fever becomes more elevated, it's worth consulting with your doctor.
