Hello. Welcome to HCM.
If your daughter is having teeth eruprtions, at 1 year 8 months, it is delayed teething and you need to discuss this with your pediatrician. However, if teeth had started erupting eaarlier and are continuing now, you need not worry. In this climate, children are prone to many viral fevers, which can be high grade. You can give her mild antipyretic as crocin. make sure she does not have any abdominal pain etc. In case the doctor advises you for blood tests, please request a WIDAL test also.
Hope this helps.
