Teething: If your child is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 then she should be evaluated. When teething she will be fussy and might have a very low grade fever.

Testing: Teething may cause fussiness, "mouthing," low grade fever, loose stools, drooling. With Covid-19 fever may be higher and she may evidence sneezing, coughing, runny nose. Fortunately Coronavirus in children is generally mild. If you are concerned, by all means have her examined by her Pediatrician.
