Fever coming back after 4–5 hours when the paracetamol effect wears off can happen during an infection, especially in the first 2–3 days.
Continue the medicines prescribed by your doctor and give plenty of fluids. Teething itself usually does not cause significant fever.
If fever continues beyond 3 days, becomes very high, or the child develops breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, excessive sleepiness, poor drinking or reduced urine, please get him examined again by a pediatrician. Also avoid putting fingers repeatedly over the erupting tooth as it can injure the gums.
