Harmless signs of teething

You may sometimes visibly see a rise or lump in the gum for several weeks, while sometimes there may be no visible clue at all until the tooth actually appears. These are four signs of teething that are harmless: Drool rash (your baby may get a red, raised rash on the face, lips, chin, neck, and chest. Gently wash with warm water and pat dry. A lanolin ointment is a good treatment.), diarrhea (this is generally mild and does not require any special treatment), Cough (the abundance of saliva often drips down baby’s throat and can cause coughing or gagging), Fever (baby may experience low-grade fevers less than 101. If your baby has a fever higher than this, click on fever for more info.)
Whenever the first tooth makes its appearance, celebrate the milestone by taking pictures and noting the date in your child’s baby book.
