Low grade fever for weeks!?

Question

My 4 month old daughter who is defiantly teething has had a low grade fever for a long long time... like usually 99.5 and sometimes it goes up to 100. I've told my doctor but it doesn't seem to be a problem to her. What doe you think?

Answer 1

They can run low grade fevers for awhile with teething. Use infant Tylenol, or Tempera. If it goes above 102 I would take her into emerge. just to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

I also have a 4 month old lil girl and she's just the same. And some days he little cheeks are so rosy red. I just give her infant paracetamol when she seems worse and when she is chewing a lot I put the gels on her gums. She also loves to chew on thing (esp mummys finger) but someone on here suggested to me that she chews on a rubber weaning spoon . S0 if you have any yet that could be a good idea. Just hang on in there. I also have  4 year old boy and i don't remember him going through this although he must have done.  

Answer 3

This low grade could definitely be her "norm" My oldest runs about 99.5 as her norm in the morning and higher in the afternoon. I would seek a second opinion however as your doctor obviously did not ease your worry! Ask for another doc next visit.
