During teething, babies may experience mild restlessness, fever, and gum sensitivity. Pain reliever/fever reducers like Calpol (paracetamol) should only be used if the baby is significantly uncomfortable and with doctor's recommendation.
Fever above 38°C is rare during tooth eruption — if the baby has high fever, it's likely coming from an accompanying infection rather than teething and must be evaluated by a pediatrician.
General pediatric consensus: The first choice for teething pain is non-medication methods (chilled teething ring, gentle gum massage with a clean cloth). Medication can be considered if the baby is so restless that they can't sleep and with doctor approval. Never decide on dosage yourself — always consult your pharmacist or doctor for the correct dose for your baby's weight.
