Teething fever? Something else?

DS has had a fever since about 3:30 pm yesterday. He had been really fussy/wanting me to hold him all day, so he might have had it before then. It hasn't been over 101 and I've been able to keep it down to 98-99 with tylenol. He had it through the night also. Should I call his dr? How do you know of its just teething related? 

ETA- normal eating, normal diapers

Re: Teething fever? Something else?

  • I always say it never hurts to call. There is so much going around already it's crazy. I know my DD had a fever last night too of 100.1 I just gave her the tylenol and it went down and she was fine this morning. If she has it again today I think I might call because she has been playing with her ear. Not fussy tho.

    Hope he gets better soon, it sux to have sick LOs.

    That's what I thought too, but I called and the nurse said it sounded like teething. Guess I will just keep an eye on it!
