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.
Could Watering And Swollen Eye With Low Fever And Cough In An Infant Be Due To Teething?
My 7 month old baby has come down with something and I am not sure how serious it is. Her left eye is watering and just slightly swollen and a little junky, but nothing too bad. She also has started a cough that sometimes sounds croupy and other times productive. She started running a fever around 99.1 - 101 last night and still has it this morning. Should I be worried about her eye and/or her cough? Her nose is not running at this point. She has also been teething lately -- 3 of her top teeth came through last week and I'm assuming a 4th is trying to push through soon. help!
