Once a baby develops a fever, parents will become anxious and search for the cause of the baby's fever. In fact, there are many reasons that can cause a baby to have a fever in daily life, and the most common ones are the baby's teeth growth or a decrease in body resistance leading to a fever. So, can a 2-year-old baby with teeth have a fever?
Does a 2-year-old baby with teeth have a fever
Some babies may also experience fever when they grow teeth at the age of two. During the teething period, babies like to put things in their mouths and easily introduce bacteria into their mouths, which can easily invade and cause inflammation, ultimately leading to a fever in the baby. If parents can pay attention to their babies' oral hygiene and avoid putting things in their mouths, it will be less likely for them to have a fever during teething.
How to care for babies during teething period
During the period of teething, babies are prone to gum pain and discomfort, so they enjoy biting various things. Parents can prepare food for their babies to grind their teeth, and when their gums are uncomfortable, they can bite them to relieve discomfort.
During the period of tooth growth, babies are prone to drooling, mainly due to the stimulation of their gums and salivary glands. Additionally, babies do not know how to swallow, resulting in drooling. After a baby drools, they should be wiped clean with a cotton cloth to prevent saliva from wetting their clothes.
