I suspect ear infection and am taking him into the pedi in the am. He did the same thing last time he had an ear infection. I have heard ppl say tugging on ears could be teething but not in my kids so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mild-fever-amp-grouchy#post-380338 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 21:01:44 +0000 phdmommy 380338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: @MrsRcCar: Thank you! It's so hard to tell about the teething b/c she's put everything in her mouth for about 2 months. But I will give the nurse line a call, JIC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mild-fever-amp-grouchy#post-380280 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:39:42 +0000 MrsRcCar 380280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tugging on the ears is a general indictation that there is an ear infection. However if she is really drooly or putting stuff in her mouth then perhaps teething. I would consult the nurse line of her doctors office. They may have some advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mild-fever-amp-grouchy#post-380163 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:52:56 +0000 MamaBehr 380163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be too worried about the temperature, it isn't worrisome until it is like 102 or 103. I don't have much experience with ear infections (lucky me :) ) but, DS was a little crankier during teething. I think he was cranky for a few days before they broke through. A bigger sign of teething is that EVERYTHING goes in their mouth, and maybe they don't like drinking bottles or nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mild-fever-amp-grouchy#post-380143 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:46:03 +0000 phdmommy 380143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little girl has had a very low grade fever (99.4-99.7) off and on for two days. She's also been tugging on her ear and cranky tonight. Her sleep has been off too (but I think she's waking herself up rolling over). Do you think it could be teething? Or an ear infection? She hasn't really been around any other kids or babies lately. </p> <p>If she is teething, how long could this go on before teeth pop through. I don't see any buds in her gums. Poor girl. </p>
