Will teething cause fever?

I believe that many mothers have found that when the baby starts to grow teeth at around 6 months old, some babies will drool, love to bite things, have a bad temper, cry, etc. Because the child is relatively small and the body's resistance is relatively weak, sometimes there will be a fever. Some friends think that the fever may be caused by teething, or it may be caused by the baby's cold, etc. So, will the baby have symptoms of fever when teething? Let me introduce it to you in detail.

Not necessarily. Some babies will have a fever, but some will not. Teething itself will not cause any fever. The fever that occurs during teething is mainly because the baby's gums will itch during the teething stage, and they prefer to bite things. If they bite something unclean, it may cause throat or gastrointestinal infection, and fever or diarrhea. It is not the teething itself that will cause the baby to have a fever or diarrhea.

Some children will have a fever when they are growing teeth and growing taller, because after all, it takes a lot of effort to grow a tooth. If the fever remains low and the child is in good spirits, then there is no need to worry. Just make sure the child drinks plenty of water and avoids eating irritating foods.

Every baby has a different physique, so for some babies the fever will go away automatically, but some babies have poor physiques and are weakest when they are teething, so they catch a cold and have a fever.

Babies will have some abnormal performance during teething, and different babies will have different performances. Generally speaking, the symptoms of baby teething mainly include the following nine aspects:

1. Pain: Your baby may show signs of pain and discomfort.

2. Bad temper: The discomfort caused by teething can make the baby bad tempered and cry a lot, which is especially obvious one or two days before teething.

3. Red cheeks: Mothers may notice red spots on their baby’s cheeks.

4. Drooling: The excessive saliva produced during teething will cause the baby to drool frequently.

6. Swollen gums: Check your baby's mouth to see if there is any redness or swelling on the gums.

7. Restless sleep: Your baby may wake up in the middle of the night and seem irritable, even though he had been sleeping soundly before.

8. Increased body temperature: Teething can cause the body temperature to rise slightly, so your baby may feel a little hotter than usual.
