The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
During teething, a slight rise in body temperature below 38°C can be seen in babies. This is known as "teething fever" and is caused by inflammatory processes in the gums.
However, if the fever is 38°C or higher, the baby shows signs of listlessness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or rash, this is not related to teething and may be a sign of an underlying infection. A serious underlying condition can be missed.
For this reason, it's best not to attribute high fever solely to teething and to consult a pediatrician.
