Teething Causes High A High Fever: Old Wive\'s Tale? Video Description:Teeth are important, but getting them isn't an easy process. It's been held that teething can cause a high fever, but is this really the case? Transcript:But getting them isn’t an easy process.   Because of this, many myths abound about teething.  A recent study at done at the Cleveland Clinic, sought to parse truth from myth. And they found that teething does NOT cause a fever over 100 degrees. There MAY be a SLIGHT rise in temperature when the teeth come through the gum, but this does not MAKE a baby ill. There ARE a few surefire signs that your little one is about to get his or her first set of choppers: an increase in droolilng, gum rubbing, sucking, and biting often occur. And teething may also lead to irritability, ear rubbing, facial rash, and a decreased appetite for solid foods. But remember, teething WON’T make your baby ill.  So if your infant has a temperature over 100 degrees, call your pediatrician. Your baby MAY be sick and need treatment.
