Is teething causing my 10-month-old's fever?

A low-grade fever can appear in 10-month-olds during teething — but it's usually below 38°C and temporary. The inflammation in the gums during tooth eruption can raise body temperature slightly, but high fever (38°C or higher) is NOT from teething.
If your baby's fever is 38°C or higher, lasts over three days, or comes with other symptoms (restlessness, poor appetite, diarrhea, rash), this probably isn't teething — it's a separate infection. I'd recommend seeing a pediatrician.
For teething fever, cool teething rings, gentle gum massage with a clean cloth, and appropriate fever reducers (per your doctor) usually help.
