FEVER: Do not blame it to teething! always examine baby if fever is persistent. Since baby is eating it can be viral infection.

Babies and Fever: Fever in those under 2 are not to be just tolerated or watched. Too many bad things can happen too quickly. At the very least please contact your baby's doctor urgently and ask what they would recommend.
