Okay. Now the doctors says that when a child is teething they will not get over a 101 or 102 fever. But I swear my oldest daughter runs 103-104 fevers every time she gets a new tooth. I can't tell you the endless times I have taken her to the doctor and they tell me nothing is wrong and of course by the time I get to the doctor the med kicks in a bit and the fever is a lot lower. What can cause her fevers to be so high??

I wish I know but NIchole is the same way. It is not uncommon for her to run 103 while teething. Of course she still only has 8 teeth, no molars yet, but one bottom one is starting to come out... I think, everytime it starts to break the skin, it goes back down!! grrrr.......

How many teeth did your daughter have at a year old? My youngest only has TWO and she just got them recently!!

Kaytee · 06-16-2007, 03:42 PM

lol she had 8 at one. She has had 8 (4 top 4 bottom) since she was about 10 months old.

lol Yeah, at a year old they want you to start them on regular foods and stuff but what in the world can I feed her other then mushy stuff with only two bottom teeth?! lol

True!!! nichole at least has top teeth too. She pretty much eats everything. I was talking to a mom on another site and her 16 month old son just got his first tooth. Its all normal just not the average. I just wish the molars would come through since they cause her so much pain all the time, then they go back down and it all starts over

My oldest was two before she got her "2 year" molars. Do they get two sets of molars? I thought she had all her teeth, but with this fever and no other symptoms of something being wrong and her complaining all week that her mouth hurts, I just figured she was getting another tooth.

yes, they have a total of 8 molars. But I thought that those didn't come in till older.
I will go look it up

Thanks for that. I was wondering when they start losing their teeth!
