Answer: If your baby has diarrhea, a fever, or a runny nose, don’t dismiss it as a sign of teething, especially if the symptoms last longer than 24 hours.
Even though many parents always think these symptoms seem directly related to teething, there’s no scientific proof that they’re linked. Experts say fever and diarrhea are not usual teething symptoms.
One of many possible explanations for these symptoms is that because teething babies frequently put things in their mouth to soothe their gums, they get sick from coming into contact with viruses and other germs.
Our advice is to call and/or make an appointment with your child’s health care provider for them to do a proper diagnosis of why your baby has diarrhea and fever and find a solution to relieve that.
