My LO 17months had fever since last week Tues. The deg was 37.1-37.5 and PD diagnosed nothing and mentioned it was viral fever. We gave him medicine for 4days and stopped as the temperature gone lower. He had some loose stools too. Today his temperature went up till 38.8 (highest). I am not sure whether it's due to teething, as some said teething may or may not cause fever and loose stools. Any advice?

Normally teething fever is low grade fever..... so nv go beyond 37.5 and if it's viral fever it will normally last 5 to 7 days and normally fever medi you give 4 to 6 hourly and if no fever I still recommend to give for another day but drag to 8 hourly for that day. ... and if after drag to 8 hourly for a day and fever never return then you can monitor and don't give medi.....that's. How I stop all type of medi...so as to ensure then the virus die down......if it get too hot then start sponging him....if still after 7 days fever never stop I think better bring him.back to see doc....
