Depends: Teething is a comforting excuse many use in infancy but I don't apply it to any fever that exceeds 101,if that. The reason for the visit depends more on any changes in your kid and your assessment.If the kids activities/play/smiles/feeding have dropped off and or the kid is prone to ear infections I would be more worried.If the kid is playful, eating well, smiling and unbothered in general, wait.
