How high can fever get when teething?

Yes, teething fevers are always very mild. If the temperature crosses 101, please consult your pediatrician immediately.

I have raised two kids, and let me tell you, teething never causes a high fever. At most, it will be 100 degrees. My tip is to give them cold silicone teethers to soothe their gums and always check their temperature with a digital thermometer before giving any medicine.

When my daughter was teething, she only had a slight warm feel, around 100.4 degrees. Our doctor clearly told us that if the fever goes to 101 or 102, it is usually a viral infection from putting dirty toys in the mouth. Keep their teethers clean and consult a pediatrician if it rises.

I was told by my aunt that teething doesn't actually cause a high fever at all. Is it true that they only get a warm forehead? I am quite worried about how to handle this when my baby niece visits next month.

Don't stress too much, dear! Teething fevers are super low-grade, usually just around 100 degrees. If your little one's temperature spikes higher, they might have caught a small cold, so just give your doc a quick call to be safe.

Medically speaking, teething does not cause a fever above 101 degrees. If your child has a high fever, do not attribute it to teething and delay care. Take them to a pediatrician for a proper diagnosis right away.
