Not normal : It is not normal to have a rash all over while teething. Teething or eruption of teeth is regular, but the rash is due to some other reason such as a viral infection or allergies.

Not usually. : Usually teething does not include an all over body rash on a young child. Please contact your pediatrician about your concerns. The most common side effects of teething are excessive drooling and slight fussiness. Babies also will chew & gnaw on many different objects when teething.

No: An all over body rash is not from teething. Something else is going on. Please bring your child to their pediatrician for an evaluation.

No: A local rash around the mouth may occur due to excess saliva during teething. A generalized rash all over the body is not from teething. Your child should be seen by a pediatrician.
