Teething

Question
Hello,
my CF son is 5 years and a half and is teething, 2 molars, he has regular fever spikes during the day to 39.5, he's not cold, but coughing a little in his fever spikes. I want to know if the fever is connected to teething and if I have to give him another thing than paracetamol. And what are the risks? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Answer
Hello,
Teething rarely gives a fever of 39 ° 5. Giving paracetamol is a good action in case of en hyperthermia but if you have concern or doubt it is the best to consult your doctor.
Best Regards
