YES: A temp that high is not likely due to teething alone.An acute viral syndrome is likely, but a child that young should be seen by someone for a temp that high.

Yes: Teething can cause many symptoms but anytime you are dealing with a high fever, you should go to the doctors.

Yes: Your child's fever may not necessarily be related to teething and dehydration is a serious situation for anyone under 6 months of age. You child is also very early on the teething time frame- i would strongly encourage you to follow-up with the er and your pediatrician.
