Is Teething In Infants Related With Fever ,drools And Bumps On Gums?

My son is 6 months old. I checked his temperature rectally and it was 100.0 exactly... He has been fussy and eats fine. He drools alot and sleeps alot here lately. I feel a bump in his lower gums but I cant tell if its just part of his gums or if its a tooth... Could he be teething or is there something else wrong possibly?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain mild fever can be seen in teething infants along with drooling and irritability and a bump over the gum can be due to either pressure from erupting tooth or it can be an eruption cyst that can occur prior to erupting tooth and disappears once the tooth erupts..

I would suggest you to consult a Pedodontist and get her evaluated and a clinical examination has to be done..

In case if it is due to teething it will gradually improve when the eruption of teeth will complete..
As of now doing cool compresses on gums, feeding with plenty of cool fluids and soft and bland diet will help..
Give Acetaminophen to reduce fever..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
