is 101.5 too high fever to be molar related?

He seemed fine all day until this evening

well he has a slight cold but always gets a cold while teething.

I see the top two molars breaking through

My pedi said that 102.4 was too high for molars, but when Lucy had NO other symptoms of anything else, and then two days later her first molar popped through, I have given up all hopes on it "can't be teething"

I think it is.  Our pedi says to call if it's 101 or above.  Give some Motrin and see how he is in the am.

Our Pedi said anything over 100 is too high to be teething related.

I've stopped believing pedis who say teething won't cause a fever. ?DS has had a 102 fever twice in his life- and he cut a tooth within a day or two, both times.

IMO, if your LO is acting otherwise normal (not lethargic or incredibly uncomfortable) I'd just try to lower the temp with Motrin and a cool bath.?

I am really late on this, but DS got a fever of 104-105 for all 4 molars.  None of the other teeth.  The first two times I freaked the he!l out.  The 2nd two times I realized what was going on.  No other symptoms and as soon as the tooth cut skin he fever was gone.
