Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can teething cause high fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, teething is a physiological phenomenon. Some babies may experience fever, drooling, and irritability during teething. Symptomatic treatment can be applied. When the temperature is below 38°C, physical cooling methods such as alcohol rubs and warm water forehead washing can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38°C, ibuprofen suspension can be taken orally. Don't worry, the symptoms usually gradually disappear. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
