My baby is 5 months old. Today, he has a fever sometimes and sometimes doesn't have a fever.

Patient's question:

Today, it's hot and then not hot. A bit of sneezing, no coughing. Two white things have come out from the gums. Is it teething? Is it related to fever? Thank you. The fever is between 37.5-39.3.

Doctor's answer:

Teething is a stage that every baby goes through during their growth and development. Some babies may experience feverish symptoms such as fever and warmth during teething. To cope with these symptoms, parents only need to provide proper care and training.
Sometimes, when a baby's teeth first erupt, they may experience varying degrees of fever again. As long as the temperature does not exceed 38°C and the baby is in good spirits and has a strong appetite, no special measures are needed. Simply offer the baby more warm water. However, if the temperature is below 38.5°C and is accompanied by restlessness, crying, and refusal to nurse, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. A doctor should be consulted for a thorough examination to rule out other infections.
Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
