Question

Will a 5-month-old baby get a fever when teething?

Answer

A 5-month-old baby may experience a fever during the teething period, but it usually does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the fever is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, appropriate antipyretic medication can be administered. If it is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. Additionally, ensure the baby receives adequate nutrition.
