When the baby is in the stage of teething, the mother finds that the baby often experiences fever during this stage. Although not all babies will have a fever during teething, it is unclear whether teething and fever are a coincidence or a inevitability. So, will the baby have a fever when they have teeth?
Not necessarily, some babies may have a fever, but others may not. Tooth growth itself does not cause any fever. The fever that occurs during tooth growth is mainly due to the itching of the gums and the tendency to bite. If the baby bites something unclean, it may cause throat or gastrointestinal infections, as well as fever or diarrhea. Tooth growth itself can also cause fever or diarrhea in babies.
When a baby has a fever during teething, parents first need to take the child for medical examination to see what the cause of the baby's fever is. Then, pay attention to the baby's dietary hygiene during the fever period. When the baby's diet is not hygienic, it may also lead to the baby developing a fever.
A baby's fever may also be caused by unhygienic oral hygiene during teething. You can choose to give the baby plenty of water to maintain oral hygiene and help them replenish the water lost due to fever. During teething, babies may experience abnormal symptoms such as pain, irritability, red cheeks, drooling, chewing or biting, swollen gums, difficulty sleeping, elevated body temperature, and pain in the buttocks.
