I read over the internet, some say babies teething can cause fever; while some say its myth. but from your experience, did your babies experience fever/ increase in body heat during teething?

Ya, some babies may have fever. Most babies are uncomfortable during teething.

Depends how old the baby starts growing teeth.

mine yes... she got fever then after a week or two can start see teeth come out... not sure if its a myth but it happen in this sequence.

yes all the below
*fever
*saliva drooling
*babbling irritation due to discomfort this is understandable coz those tiny little tooth wanna grow out from the gum
*very soft berak macam grapeseeds

Yes but it's normal.

how about diarrhoea?

Based on experience, my baby teething caused her to be easily annoyed, cry, and yes fever happen during the same period

its not a myth, but there are some babies who would feel discomfort when teething but did not have fever.

my lo had this fever when reaching some milestone. At first I did not believe my mother's advice (baby demam cos she is learning/accomplishing something), but it was quite true for my lo. Maybe coincidence but just keep calm when your baby have fever.

Mild fever in my kid case. We just monitored the temp and gave paracetamol once the temp reach 39 above. Gone after 1 2 days

my baby is now 11 months, when he start teething in his 8th month, a bit high temp 37.5 at some time of the day, we monitor and next day back to normal temp.

What we noticed were, he drool quite a bit and keep putting his fingers in his mouth.

Hi all, this is an old topic. just want to ask...for my baby's case do any of you experienced parents apply any medication to soothe the teething? so sad to see him go thru this process.

My baby is having fever with temperature on average at 38 deg C since yest night. I haven't apply any medication and I only constantly apply wet drap on forehead and neck and it looks like this doesn't really help.

I also notice temperature is only high on the head and upper part of the body. Baby now is 8.5 months.

Any advice and feedback appreciated

i only start giving my son medication once reach 38, before that monitor closely, once reach 38 will wet drap.

for chinese they did put some chinese medication oil forgotten the name, u can check with herbal shop they know, i didnt apply anything, just wipe off extra saliva.

baby and kid's temperature r abit higher than grown up and their heartbeat faster too, so its pretty normal, got to be alert all the time about lo temperature.

all the best

When possible see a doctor. But you posted this 6 days ago so most likely it should be settled by now. We go to our doctor quite often.. but.. i'd rather have the doctor tell us it's nothing don't worry and sleep well then go to the doctor to late.

Relating to fever, our baby had a high fever (40.5) at 10 months old, the only advice we got from the doctor was to net let the fever go above 39 celcius. once it reaches 39 cool your baby down. 38 is still fine as your baby needs a little fever to fight of what ever is bothering your baby's health.
