i know i know - all the medical experts say that when a child is teething they don't get a fever, the fever is usually related to something else. BUT last night dd had a temp of 39 and was not herself, gave her a dose of panadol and temp went back to normal, she was a little unsettled during the night once but put herself back to sleep after crying out for about 30secs. took her to the docs today to get her checked over, usually i wouldn't be that concerned but am going away on a girls weekend and i would hate to go if she wasn't well - wouldn't be fun for everyone. the doc said everything looked fine and that teething does not cause a fever. i am putting it down to teething, it is the bottom 2 eye teeth and the gum is ulcerated and the tooth is just about through, it may have already cut the gum today.

so what are others experiences - have your bubs had a one off fever and been a little grizzly then nothing came of it, apart from a tooth a day or so later, or has the fever developed into something else????
