Suggest Treatment For Fever And Diarrhea In A Child Having Teething

Hi. My 10month 1/2 yr old daughter has had a fever for 4 days now. Day and night. Anywhere from 100-104. Twice at 104. We have been giving her baby tylonal and baby motrin. Our doc said if the fever doesn't break to take her to ER by tomorrow. I think this is related to Teething. She is constantly placing her finger in back of her mouth, drooling, diaria, not eating, crying a lot, biting everything she can get her hands on. Please help us?

1.You can use a teething ring,try rubbing gums with soft toothbrush. 2.Babies can not chew, because it is painful, yhats why don't introduce solid food. Give just light or blended food
