Question
How high does a child’s fever rise during teething?
Answer
When a child is teething, a slight increase in body temperature is common. If the temperature exceeds 37.5°C, it is considered a fever. In this case, you can give the child medication such as pediatric throat lozenges, amoxicillin granules, and Qingkailing granules, and encourage them to drink plenty of water. At the same time, pay attention to observing the child’s overall condition, maintain proper warmth to avoid catching a cold. If there is no improvement after medication treatment, it should be immediate to take the child to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
