Hello
Yes it is very much possible that caries in the teeth (when they are deep) can cause systemic problems (like fever).
It is best if you go for the treatment for such young kid as these milk teeth needs to be there till 8to 10 years of his age.
We can arrange a video call with our Pediatric specialist for you.
Next Steps
Get the treatment done for young kid.
