My son is 6 months old. I checked his temperature rectally and it was 100.0 exactly... He has been fussy and eats fine. He drools alot and sleeps alot here lately. I feel a bump in his lower gums but I cant tell if its just part of his gums or if its a tooth... Could he be teething or is there something else wrong possibly?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns... As per your complaint mild fever can be seen in teething infants along with Chat Doctor. . I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get her evaluated and a clinical examination has to be done. In case if it is due to teethe it will gradually improve when the eruption of teeth will complete. As of now doing cool compresses on gums, feeding with plenty of cool fluids and soft and bland diet will help. Give Acetaminophen to reduce fever. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
