Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. Low grade fevers are frequently seen in children who are teething, as it is in your son's case. If the fever reaches 101F or higher, it is worth a consult with your doctor, just to be safe. Otherwise, there is nothing to be worried about.
