Possible: Research about teething has been very difficult to perform. Currently, research does not support that teething can cause high fever (> 102) but may cause low grade temperatures. Some believe that fever is caused not by teething but a viral infection that may be going on at the same time. If the fever is > 102, lasts longer than 3-5 days or she is very uncomfortable, i would have her checked out.

Often: Teething causes fever, irritability etc. If all else seems well try some tylenol (acetaminophen) an. Monitor the fever. Consult your child's pediatrician if fever persists or worsens. Hope this helps.

TEETHING SYMPTOMS: Many infants show signs of distress during teething. The exact mechanism these symptoms occur during teething is not known, but the correlation of these stress symptoms with a tooth erupting remain high. Ibuprofen, cold teething rings and/or camilia can help. Try to keep fluid intake high. Ibuprophen will help with the elevated temp. And with discomfort. If it doesn't improve see your pediatrician.
