Fever.
My daughter is 15 months old and since yesterday she has fever. The fever came randomly and she does not have any other symptoms. We gave Calpol when it went above 99.5. Could this be because of teething? Her first molars are erupting. Please suggest on what should we do and how long would the fever take to go away. When should we see the doctor? Thank you

U are doing the right thing by giving Calpol as needed for temperature above 99.5 F Give Plenty of fluids in form of her milk feeds, soup, ORS, etc Teething results in mild fever only, so if she has high temperatures and other symptoms, please see her Paediatrician. Keep a close watch on her for any warning signs. 1. Lethargy. Your child has lost his appetite, has little energy, or is noticeably pale of flushed, or you notice other changes in his behavior and appearance. 2. Rash. Your child has small, purple-red spots on his skin that don’t turn white when you press on them, or large purple blotches. 3. Difficulty Swallowing. Your child is unable to swallow and is drooling excessively. 4. Difficulty Breathing. Your child has difficulty breathing even after you clear his nose with a bulb syringe. 5. Mood. Your child seems delirious, glassy–eyed, or extremely cranky or irritable.
