Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Normal To Have High Fever And Cold During The Process Of Teething?
Hi, my grand daughter is teething, has a cold but is also running a temperature from 101 to 103 but currently it is down to 99.5 axillary. she will go to the doctor on Wednesday. I am just wondering what else could be wrong. My mother believes it is just the teething but I disagree, thinking maybe she has an infection somewhere.
Hello. thank you for your question. Teething can cause low grade fevers and mild cold symptoms. However, we don't usually expect teething fever to reach 103. Most likely, she also has a viral illness. This ultimately resolves on it's own and is harmless. I do agree, however, that it is a good idea to get checked out by your doctor.
