It was a viral infection when that happened to my daughter. We just alternated children’s motrin and tylenol for the fever and let her sleep it off as much as she could. She got over it in a few days, but inwould still get it checked out with the Dr to make sure.

Have them run a full blood panel.

Full disclosure, teething does not cause fevers. It’s probably just viral. Hope your little one feels better.

Ask for a urine test my daughter had many fevers and they found out it was her kidneys

A viral infection, then you just need fever meds every 4 hours till it passes, my son had that

How old is the child?
Could be many things.
Depending on age it could be teething, constipation, infection starting, something viral…

If a child is very tired, it is a stress in their body and could cause a rise in temperature. Fatigue can also cause a lowered resistance to germs.

scarlett fever is going around for the kids.
