Teething in infants is not typically associated with fever. This study found fever was more common on the day of tooth eruption than in the preceding 19 days, cautioning against attributing fever to teething.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infant Health
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Teething is a common developmental milestone in infants.
  • Fever is often anecdotally linked to the teething process.
  • Accurate identification of fever causes in infants is crucial for appropriate care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between infant teething and fever.
  • To determine if fever is a common occurrence during the teething period.
  • To assess the validity of attributing infant fevers to teething.

Main Methods:

  • Mothers of 46 healthy infants recorded temperature data for 20 days prior to first tooth eruption.
  • Infant temperatures were monitored daily around the time of tooth eruption.

  • Fever was defined as a temperature greater than 37.5 degrees C.

    • Main Results:

    • Twenty infants experienced fever on day 0 (the day of tooth eruption).
    • Only seven or fewer infants reported fever in the 19 days preceding tooth eruption.
    • A statistically significant increase in fever incidence was observed on the day of teething.

    Conclusions:

    • The study suggests a weak or coincidental association between teething and fever.
    • Attributing fever solely to teething in infants may be misleading.
    • Further investigation into the causes of fever in infants is warranted, especially during teething.
