Does Baby Have a Fever Due to Growing out Teeth?
The
baby, about one year old, was brought to see his teeth for the first time in
life. I asked the parents if there was any special condition. I usually want to
apply fluoride or listen to how the child's teeth are taken care of, but I hear
such an inquiry:
"Doctor, he has been clapping his head recently. Is he going to have teeth?"
And parents often ask: "He had a fever last week. Is it a relationship with teeth?" What are the symptoms of teeth? Let's look at it step by step.
About six months old start to grow lower incisors
Children's teething time is not the same for everyone. There is a saying that children's teething time is different from each other, but children's teething time is not the same, but it is about six months old. The months are fairly normal.
Teeth usually grow from the bottom, and the top is usually half a year later, that is, if the lower incisor is six months long, the upper incisor is usually about twelve months long. The speed of the long teeth on the left and right teeth will be about the same, but they are not completely symmetrical. It will not be said that the left front teeth are growing today, and the right front teeth must emerge within three days.
It's just that the order of long teeth is actually a statistical average. Everyone's situation is not the same, and there is no "right" problem. As long as there are teeth, parents should not worry too much.
Through the above picture, you can see the replacement time of the primary and permanent teeth. The replacement time indicated in it is an approximate range. There is no problem. Parents do not need to worry about growing too late and too early because you can do it. Not much.
Teeth fever? Controversial
"Whether long teeth can cause a fever" has always been a hot issue for parents, usually it is not. The general consensus in the stomatology community is that long teeth may have a slight increase in body temperature, but long teeth alone will not cause fever. If you have a fever, it is best to look for any other causes. Usually be careful to reduce the body's immunity due to a cold or other reasons, which in turn can make the oral cavity worse.
However, there have been research papers on the relationship between deciduous teeth and fever in foreign countries, and finally came to this conclusion:
"In the anal temperature measurement paper, long deciduous teeth are related to fever." Other studies using ear temperature and axillary temperature to measure body temperature have shown that fever has nothing to do with long deciduous teeth.
"Large deciduous teeth raise the body temperature slightly, but not to a fever."
Although there is no perfect evidence to show that long teeth have nothing to do with fever, parents are still advised to look for other possibilities before blaming the cause of the fever on long teeth.
Gingival irritation, irritability, and drooling are common.
In addition to fever, what are the symptoms of long teeth? The three most common signs of teething: gum irritation, grumpy, and drooling.
When you grow your teeth, there will be some changes in the gums that are inherently unstable. On the other hand, your teeth may get stuck to half when they grow to half, and the residue is not easy to brush, and it is easy to become irritated. In addition, when children start to grow teeth, they also start to Trying to put everything into the mouth during the oral period causes bacterial infection, so it is possible for the gums to be irritated and uncomfortable. Just clean it.
Irritability and drooling are also common, and maybe 50% to 60% of them will do so. About 30% to 40% of people have sucking fingers, loss of appetite, restless sleep, and runny nose. Fewer people have fever and diarrhea.
However, these conditions are usually more obvious when the first few teeth are grown. Studies have shown that the discomfort of long teeth slowly decreases with age. Some people are even more obvious when only the front teeth are long, and the back teeth have no reaction. Maybe used to it.
Pay attention to cleanliness and relieve symptoms
Teething is the way to go, and there is no way to avoid these symptoms. All we can do is pay attention to cleaning (whether it is brushing the teeth or paying attention to the children's stuffing in the mouth), and the symptoms can be relieved and can be applied. Some ice-cold things, such as small ice cubes or ice-fixing teeth or some long-term tooth gel, make him slightly comfortable with low temperature.
