[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your complaint mild fever can occur during teething that is generally due to the tendency of the toddler to take anything in mouth to bite on as they have itchy and sore gums and needs to gratify themselves. It leads to infections and can cause mild fever. But in case if the fever is persistent then it is not due to teethe bit some other causes and as your baby already had upper respiratory tract infection, it is indicating towards viral infection and not just teething. Getting a CBC done will help in ruling out the exact cause of fever and can be treated accordingly. As of now you can give her Acetaminophen in syrup form to reduce fever. Also get him clean and sterilized teething rings if she urges biting on and do not let her put anything else in her mouth not even her fingers. Hope this helps. Regards.
