Parents pay close attention to every physical change that a baby undergoes during their growth process, such as the baby's growing teeth. Most babies start to grow teeth between 4 and 6 months old, and many parents are also concerned about whether their babies will have a fever when they grow teeth. Let's learn about whether babies will have a fever when they have teething?
Does a baby have a fever when teething?
Babies may experience fever during teething, but this is an isolated phenomenon. Fever caused by teething is often due to the need for teeth to break through the gums, resulting in slight redness and swelling of the gums. At this time, it is important to pay attention to the baby's food hygiene and not let them chew on unclean things to avoid infection. If tooth growth is caused by low-grade fever, mothers don't need to worry too much. They should drink more plain water to ensure the cleanliness of their baby's mouth, and at the same time, it can alleviate the loss of water caused by excessive drooling and fever.
What should I do if my baby has teeth and fever?
1. We usually need to purchase some children's medicines at home, such as cold medicine, fever medicine, etc., for emergency use.
2. Don't panic when you find your baby has a fever. Feed your baby with antipyretic medicine and some antipyretic food.
3. When we cannot control the degree of the baby's fever ourselves, we need to go to the hospital for treatment.
4. Learn more about the symptoms of children when they are sick and acquire knowledge about child care. When a baby has problems, they can handle them themselves instead of having to go to the hospital for major and minor illnesses, which saves both time and money.
In summary, generally speaking, babies who have teething may have a fever, which is also a very normal phenomenon. Parents don't need to worry too much. But we also need to pay attention to the condition of our baby's teeth at all times. If there is inflammation around the baby's gums, it can also cause fever. It is necessary to seek treatment in a timely manner, otherwise the baby will feel very uncomfortable and may cry frequently. Therefore, parents should take it seriously.
