Can Teething Cause a Fever?

Teething does not cause fever, diarrhea, diaper rash or runny nose. It does not cause a lot of crying. It does not cause your baby to be more prone to getting sick. Caution about Fevers.

Why do babies get fevers when teething?

No evidence of baby teething fever

Typically, the two front teeth on the bottom gums come in first. While some parents believe that teething can cause a fever, there's no evidence to support this idea. It's true that teething may slightly increase a baby's temperature, but it won't spike enough to cause a fever.

How high can a teething fever get?

The Bottom Line. If your little one develops a temperature lower than 100.4 degrees while they're cutting a tooth, it's probably not a cause for concern. But if it's higher than 101 degrees or accompanied by any other symptoms of illness, you should call your pediatrician.
