What Is The Body Temperature In An Infant During Teething?
Question: How high of a fever is expected when my 18 month old son is cutting four teeth, two of them molars. Took his temp. and it seemed higher than I was expecting.
Brief Answer:
Teething
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Typically, temperature from teething doesn't go above 101. If it does, it could still be teething. However, if it rises above 101, it's still a good idea to get checked out to make sure something else isn't going on.
