Does Teething Cause High Fever?

My 2 year old son had a fever up to 102.2 last Tuesday, after a good night of sleep and Tylenol fever was down and child much better. I always also work with homeopathy as a support. I first thought it was teething, because he had his and in his mouth, but the fever was a bit high for that, isn t it? He still seems to not be completely himself, a bit more sleepy and whiny, less appetite, drinks well and bowel and urination seems normal. I notice that his lips are more red than usual. I don t notice any sign of anything clearly.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Look for his tongue and oral mucosa, is it also bright red like strawberry. Is he having rash over face or reddish eyes.

If he is becoming lethargic or having high fever with all above symptoms then you may need to consult pediatrician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
