How long will teething fever last?

Beta, teething only causes a very mild warmth, not a high fever. It should settle in a day or two. You can gently rub a clean, cold cotton cloth over the baby's gums to soothe them, but if the fever is high, please consult a doctor immediately.

I know how terrifying it is when your little one gets warm, it used to make me so anxious and sleepless. Usually, this teething warmth lasts just a couple of days. Please don't worry, but if the temperature goes above 100 or they seem very dull, definitely consult your pediatrician.

Yes, teething should only cause a mild body temperature rise for about 24 to 48 hours. Keep the baby hydrated.

My mother-in-law says teething can cause mild irritation for 2-3 days, but our pediatrician always tells us that a real high fever is usually due to some other infection, not teething. It is best to give a quick call to your doctor to be safe.

With both my kids, the mild fever lasted only for 1 or 2 days right before the tooth popped out. I used to give them cold silicone teethers to chew on, which helped a lot. Just make sure you are not ignoring a high fever thinking it is just teething.

Teething is a test of patience for the parents more than the baby! The mild fever usually lasts 24 to 48 hours, but the crankiness feels like it lasts a lifetime. Hang in there, coffee is your best friend right now.
