Teething in babies: separating fact from fiction.
In one study, out of 50 babies hospitalised for symptoms attributed to teething, 48 had an organic cause of illness. Symptoms may include a slight rise in temperature, disturbed sleep and feeding, irritability, swollen tender gums and dribbling. Diarrhoea, respiratory symptoms, pulling at the ears, fever or convulsions should not be attributed to teething and require medical attention.
