Hi and my first piece of advise is if your really concerned head to the doctors.

Although both of my children had high temps, and other related ear, nose and throat issues when teething, the medical experts will say there is no relationship between the two.

I'd say if the child is still fine despite the high temperature use Calpol and Nurofen until temperature subsides or if gets worse go to the doctor.

Best of luck with it all.

Hi! Welcome! From my experience yes, they can get a temperature when teething. Niamhs cheeks get hot and red, her poo's get smellier and more watery (from the drool maybe?) But shes usually ok. I give Niamh (who is nearly 2 now) a little calpol when she teeths if her temp is up, just incase.

If it stays that high for a period of time through ring your out of hours doctor for advice as that is quite warm for a little person.

It could be, my sons temperature did rise with teething, but the advice I've always had from the doctors is if you can't control the temperature via calpol/ibuprofen then you need to contact them. 111 is always helpful for advice too. Hope her temperature gets better.

When I've done some reading about it they shouldn't get a temp due to teething. But they do seem more susceptible to,pick up out stuff when they are and have nappy rashes etc. Calpol/Brufen always a good idea to keep temp down but if they're not right get them checked out
