Can they get a fever every day from teething?

Re: Can they get a fever every day from teething?

DS does on the days that the tooth seems to be actively pushing through.

How high does the fever go?

Re: Can they get a fever every day from teething?

Well DS runs high fevers for everything, so I would not use him as a gauge for the norm, but he has gone up to 102 for cutting a tooth. He has hit 106 when he had coxsackie though, just to give you an idea of how he runs fevers.

I always call the ped just in case though. I hate when he gets a fever.

Hope your LO feels better soon

Yup...remember just the other day I was acking for *hugs* for Bella..she had a fever and was lethargic?

Well sure enough...out popped her molar the following day

Re: Can they get a fever every day from teething?

DD's molars have been slowly coming up for about a month now and just yesterday the fever began so I said to DH - I bet by this time next week it has completely come through. I expect her fever to be lowgrade until it does. She always runs a low grade fever until it actually pops through the gum
