See dentist: What you described warrants an evaluation by a dentist. It is imperative to rule out infection that could affect the jaw bone. Wish you and the child good health!

Fever: A fever of 38.7 is not consistent with teething. Please have your child evaluated by a pediatric dental specialist, a Pedodontist
