In another thread I mentioned that DD (15 months) insurance has not kicked in, and we are dealing with her having a fever for 3dys....today, thank God, she doesn't have one but is still really fuzzy. Once we give her Tylenol she is her happy baby that she always is. Not to mention that we did pamper her those 3dys. First question, do toddlers teeth? Do they have fevers with that. Or what do they go through at 15 months? If anyone has had this can I have some direction....don't want to put her through going through the hospital. Thank you for looking and for your advice. Thanks. May God Blees you all and your families.

yeah it could be teething, especially her molars, i know with dd she didnt actually get her first teeth through until she was like 10-11 months old, and yeah they do sometimes get fevers with it too, as long as she is feeling ok after you give her pain reliefe and her temp goes down she should be fine, have you tried to count how many teeth she has already? when i took dd for her last dentist checkup they said she has 20 teeth (cant remember if it was 20 in total or 20 top and 20 bottom lol). hope this helps a little

Whether or not it is teething depends upon how high it is. Does she happen to have a rash now? Roseola, which is a viral illness, will produce fever for several days, then a rash. It is harmless except to pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. It is also a good sign that it comes down and she is happy after tylenol. If that is working and she is showing no other symptoms, you really don't need to take her to the doctor unless it continues for a few more days. In that case I would at least call a doctor and ask.

yes, at 15 months, she could absolutely be cutting teeth! my younger daughter gets a high fever (she got up to 105.1 a couple of months ago!) with every single new tooth she cuts! so weird!
