Is It Normal To Have Fever And Running Nose During Teething?
My one year old has had a low body temp for a couple days now. She normally runs normal at 98.6 and its been steadily around 97 give or take. She has a runny nose and some congestion, but is otherwise acting normal. Her eyes looked hazy yesterday but they've cleared up. She's also teething. Should I take her in?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
She is having viral infection. It is self limiting and will clear in 4-5 days.Teething doesn't cause any infection. Teething starts from 6-13 months when level of maternal antibodies in child diminishes and so infections rise.These infections mistaken as because of teething
Happy to help you
Regards
