We got drops for her eyes, but the doctor said she was otherwise healthy. The next day, she popped two new teeth through. Coincidence? Maybe. All I know is that once the teeth were through, she was totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156598 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 23:51:50 +0000 lamariniere 2156598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW, my son teethed very late and for the first 4 teeth he had low grade fevers. I would give him Tylenol for the fever/discomfort and the fevers always went away quickly (so probably not a virus since there were no other symptoms). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156588 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 22:59:42 +0000 littlejoy 2156588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever got to 103.2, and we decided to treat with Motrin. She's comfy and sleeping now. Ughhhhh!!! Please tell me this is normal when starting daycare, and that after a certain time, she'll be immune?!?!? So hard to see her getting fevers every other week. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156399 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:57:15 +0000 SweetiePie 2156399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @littlejoy: I've read the same thing re: wives tale, and my doc said that if baby has a fever and is teething, it's probably a coincidence and baby also has a virus. There's no medical reason for a fever during teething.<br /> (But I also read that many people swear it's true, so....who the heck knows :-) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156374 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:35:05 +0000 littlejoy 2156374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I don't even know why we pay for daycare. At this rate, she'll miss more days than she goes!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156364 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:28:37 +0000 hilsy85 2156364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure it's an OWT that teething causes fevers above 100.4...sounds like she has another virus :( Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-fever-1#post-2156361 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:27:47 +0000 littlejoy 2156361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you decide LO has a teething fever vs. a fever from illness. LO is on antibiotics now for a double ear infection (last dose is today). She just spiked a 101.3 fever. She's been actively teething for a few weeks, so I'm just at a loss as far as guessing what this is. :( </p>
