What causes a child to have a fever while teething?

Many parents and friends have recently said that their children are prone to fever symptoms when they start to grow teeth, which makes them very worried. So what is the reason for babies to have a fever when they are teething, and what should they do? The editor will explain it in detail below, let’s take a look!

In fact, many babies will have fever symptoms when they are teething, and most of them are nothing to worry about. If the child's fever symptoms gradually subside within two or three hours, or the fever is not serious and is below 38 degrees, there is no need to take any measures. Just let the baby drink some water from time to time. This is also a test of the child's resistance.

However, if the baby's fever is severe, or lasts for a long time, and he looks listless, refuses to eat, and cries and makes a fuss, he needs to be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment. After the baby's fever subsides, you can let her eat something cold, such as yogurt, to make her feel more comfortable. In addition, we need to continue to observe to see if the condition recurs; at the same time, check her mouth to see if there is any redness or swelling.

I would like to emphasize here that if it is not too cold, do not dress your baby in too thick clothes to avoid overheating. You should know that the baby's own resistance is actually very strong, so do not impose too much of your own thoughts on your child.

There will be a certain degree of fever when teething. This type of fever is mostly low-grade. Most of the time, the reading will not exceed 38.5. If it exceeds this number, you should consider the possibility of infection. It would be better to consider a blood test to confirm the specific situation.

Through the editor’s sharing above, you have a clear understanding of the fever symptoms that occur when your baby is teething. So in future care work, if your baby has this symptom, you must treat it as soon as possible!
