Temperature And Teething

My 7 month old baby had a temperature of up to 39 at one point last night coming down to 37. He has had up to two doses of calpol and this morning at 9.00 His temperature is fine at 37.1. Should I visit the doctors as I don't know if its teething related? Was very unsettled last night!!

Not teething
by: Baby Help Line - Paula

Hi,

The fever is unlikely to be due to teething. There are some indications that a low-grade fever can be caused by teething, but not a high grade one.

So the fever rather indicates that your baby is sick. It can be a cold, a stomach infection or something else on its way. Or it was just one of those mystrious 1 or 3 day fevers that babies can get.

Unless you baby continues to be sick and for example stops eating or drinking, I don't think you have to visit a doctor. Just take care of him and pay attention to his development during the next couple of days.

Good luck,

Paula
