Can The Appearing Molar Teeth Cause Sore Throat And Fever?
My 6 year old started complaining of a sore throat today as well as a "toothache." His throat and mouth look normal but I noticed his 6 year molars are coming in. Tonight he has had a slight fever (100.4). So, could the molars be causing the sore throat? Should I go ahead and call his doctor in the morning? Thanks

Teething pain can cause fever in some children. Continue with the paracetamol syrup with the child , if there are no signs of any throat infection.Once the tooth erupts , he will be fine.
If the fever does not reduce with the medicine or the symptoms of sore throat increases , consult the pediatrician.
Thanks and regards .
