Sometimes parents may notice that their baby has a fever when they first start growing teeth, which may be due to the baby biting on unclean things during this period, causing gum infection and fever. So how long does a baby's tooth fever last?
Usually, babies with long teeth will have a fever that lasts for 2-3 days. Some babies may have a fever that is not very high, usually not exceeding 38 ℃, but others may have a relatively high body temperature. It is recommended to physically cool the baby by wiping the forehead, armpits, groin, and other areas with warm water. In addition, it is important to give babies more warm water to drink, and to maintain a light diet by consuming easily digestible and liquid foods.
When a baby grows teeth, the teeth need to break through the gums. If oral hygiene is not taken care of, it may lead to infection, which can result in symptoms of fever. The symptoms of fever usually disappear when teeth grow. Parents can buy some grinding cookies to alleviate the discomfort of teething babies, and suitable grinding foods can also provide additional nutrition for babies.
Parents must pay special attention to the oral hygiene of their babies during the teething period, and encourage them to drink plenty of water to help them smoothly pass through the teething period. After a baby has a fever, parents should be careful not to cover the baby too much, pay attention to heat dissipation, and maintain indoor ventilation. Long teeth require a significant amount of calcium, so it is necessary to actively supplement calcium and vitamin D to increase the body's calcium reserves.
