Can Teething Cause Fever?

My 24wekk old son has a high temp highest was 38.1 but gone down to 37.9. Hes warm all over & quite moany when being held. He does have 2 teeth coming through but has no problems so far even when they cut through & see now signs of any other teeth coming through. Hes eating his baby food but not interested in his milk. Not really slept much all day like he usually does i would rather be in his buggy for a change. I also noticed the other day he kept itching his left ear but not today.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of teething and fever along with that which is a very common occurence. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pedodontist once and get complete intraoral examination done. Start treatment after complete examination. You should get soft toys for child to bite as it will relieve frustation. You should keep teeth buds of child clean by applying moist piece of cloth on them. Avoid taking any outside food which irritates child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
