Question

Accepted Answer

no
teething is not directly related to digestion problem or any type of fever or loose motion or illness but during the teething process children place dirty things or dirty fingers in the oral cavity (this help in self soothing) which can lead to digestion problem or vomiting or loose motion or infection which can cause fever.
placing dirty fingers or dirty objects in the oral cavity continues for 2 years of age and in this phase only the child falls ill during thez teething phase
remember the fact that teething continues for 10 years but the child doesn't fall ill for 10 years

Slimy green streaks that seem to glisten in your baby's poop indicate the presence of mucus. It's thought that this sometimes happens when your baby is teething and drooling excessively. It can also be a sign of infection. Talk to your pediatrician if it doesn't go away and is accompanied by other symptoms of illness.1l
