A moderate increase in temperature during teething does not require treatment. After all, everyone's teeth erupt. And almost all children have a natural reaction of the body to this rather complex process.
In fact, each sprouting tooth causes microtrauma to the gum. Pathogens can get into the wound. They are found in abundance everywhere - on the arms of a child, on toys that he tries to put in his mouth, etc.
All sorts of viruses and bacteria are called pathogenic because they get into the blood through wounds and cause infection. Inflammation occurs, one of the signs of which is an increase in temperature.
This is a normal defensive response to infection. It promotes the development of local and general immunity. In most cases, pharmacotherapy is not required. The uncontrolled use of medications (all the medications listed in the article have contraindications and side effects) in infants is unacceptable.
During the period of teething, you should especially carefully monitor oral hygiene and adherence to general hygiene rules. And if the temperature rises above 38 degrees, you should immediately seek help from a pediatrician.
