Does Eruption Of Molars Cause Lethargy?

My 2 year old son has been very lethargic for several days. Normally he never wants to be held and is on the go from sun up to sun down. For the last 5 days he either just wants to be held all day or lays on the couch or floor. No symptoms at all. He is getting molars.

Eruption of teeth is generally associated with mild fever excessive crying and irrtability.. as fever may cause general malaise so it is quite possible.
I will recommend you to visit a pediatrician if malaise increase s or responsive ness decreases.
You can use mild anti pyretic.
