Does teething cause fever? my baby is having 99 fever , is it ok to give paracetamol?

Question

Accepted Answer

not direct
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 the teething phase
remember the fact that teething continues for 10 years but the child doesn't fall ill for 10 years
when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then youf consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given.
along with paracetamol continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. 
paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day
