Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well there are a number of causes why your baby has temperature. It may be teething, but also sore throat, otitis or any other infection or just a viroses. First of all, you should look after the temp. Give him paracetamol or Ibuprofen and plenty of water and healthy food. If your child have high fever more than 3 days then I think you should take an appointment with your doctor. Hope the best.
