title: Teething.
abstract: Teething does not appear to cause diarrhea, fever, rashes, seizures or bronchitis. It may be associated with some daytime restlessness, thumb sucking, gum rubbing, drooling and temporary loss of appetite. It is not clear whether these signs are developmental in origin or are actually related to tooth eruption. Illness occurring with teething should be thoroughly evaluated so that a serious systemic disturbance is not overlooked.
