Does the baby sweat while teething?

Slight sweating may be seen during the teething period, but this doesn't directly come from teething itself, but rather from accompanying conditions. Gum pain and restlessness can slightly raise the baby's body temperature or disrupt sleep, causing the baby to become too warm under blankets. Also, the excessive saliva flow during this period keeps the skin moist, which can be confused with sweat.
That said, if sweating is severe, especially profuse on the head and neck during night sleep, accompanied by difficulty breathing, inability to feed, or fever, these are not explained by teething alone. In that case, you should consult a pediatrician.
