Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it is true that infants and toddlers suffer from fever during teeth eruption due to inflammation in mouth as well as they tend to take anything that comes to their hand in mouth due to itchy feeling in the gums and can transfer bacteria to mouth and stomach and when the bacteria reaches blood stream there is a rise in body temperature as a part of body's defence mechanism..
But the fever is mostly mild and as she as a high fever and not being relieved by paracetamol you should take her to a Paediatrician and get her evaluated and he can advise antibiotics,Mefenemic acid for fever reduction and cold sponges for relief.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
