my baby is theeting and last few days have little fever about 37.3. i dont want to give her paracetamol all the time. when the fever will stop? she got 2 teeth alredy when she was 4 months old there was no problem at all, just now

Answer 1

Wow, I thought the first "theeting" was a typo, but you did it twice, so it would seem you just can't spell. The word is "TEETHING".

Some babies develop a fever when the later teeth come in. They can develop sinus problems, runny noses, headaches, fevers, diarrhea, the symptoms run the gambit. If you're truly concerned, get off the computer and actually take her to the pediatrician.

Answer 2

My daughter did the same thing. First two top came in no problem @ 4 months. Two bottoms gave her some fits and a fever and it was about 6 months. Now from 8 months to almost 10 months the two teeth on either side of the top two have just been giving her fits. She's ran a fever a couple of times, chewing on anything but the teething rings, even my hand. Everyone says, just wait till those molars start breaking through. I don't give anything for the fever, it never gets above 100 degrees F. So if shes just crying I'll put some ambesol on them and she's good.

Answer 3

Recent studies have actually shown that a fever isn't related to teething at all.

"What about fever? Parents often link fevers to teething, but recent research — and Leduc’s experience — suggests that there is no connection. An Australian study published in Pediatrics in 2000 described the results of following 21 children (ages six months to two years) for seven months. The researchers took the children’s temperatures daily, and also recorded when teeth errupted. They found no correlation between elevated temperatures and teething.


This is important, explains Leduc, because a parent might ignore a fever in a child who is teething when that fever could actually be a sign of something more serious. “Anything above 38ÞC or 100ÞF should always be checked out,” he says. "

I wouldn't think the fever is high enough to warrant any medication to treat it, if you are concerned then perhaps take your baby to his/her doctor.

To ease teething pain give cooled teething rings.

Answer 4

Both of my kids had all there teeth by 1. The fever just comes with, teething tabs work for the pain. I just let the fever be unless it got really high over 101.0, but the fever is the bodies way of defending itself from well everything bad. If your worried take the baby to the doctor.

Answer 5

Well, the only schedule I implamented was the nighttime routine. I started when he was 6 weeks old and sleeping through the night. Every night it is the same, dinner bath bed. He put himself on his own routine and I just follow it. Wake - 6:45 (i did this one, we take his sisters to school) Nap - 9 - 11:00 Lunch Nap - 2 - 4:00 Snack 6:30 - 8:00 Dinner, play (started this at 8 mos) bath bed

Answer 6

her fever was 37.3 amd you had 2 teeth at 4 months?? that is one crazy baby. but i am kind of worried about her fever u should take her to the pediatrician asap.

Answer 7

It does happen with some children, they do come down with a fever sometimes during teething, give her some calpol to ease it

Answer 8

Try giving her the pedialite pops they really work. They are cold so they will reduce fever. Works Wonders.

Answer 9

dont ever ignore a fever, it is very dangerous. its better to give her a paracetemol. my son too used to get fever whenever he removed a tooth.
