What are the symptoms of teething in babies?

Symptoms of teething in babies can usually be:

1. Dropping in the Mouth: Babies produce more saliva when teething.

2. Tension to Bite: Babies often bite their hands and toys to relieve pressure on their gums.

3. Restlessness and Crying: The teething process can cause distress in babies, and crying may be observed due to this restlessness.

4. Fever: There may be a mild fever, but a high fever is usually not a symptom of teething and may be a sign of another problem.

5. Disruption in Sleep Pattern: Babies who are teething may experience changes in their sleep patterns due to pain and restlessness.

6. Swelling and Redness in Gums: Redness and slight swelling may be seen in the gums.

7. Loss of Appetite: During teething, babies may not want to eat due to discomfort in their gums.

8. Mild Diarrhea: Some babies may experience mild diarrhea due to increased salivation.

The symptoms above are usually temporary and will improve after teething. If these symptoms include high fever, severe diarrhea or other serious symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor. Now I will ask you a few questions about your baby so that I can provide more detailed information about these symptoms:

1. How old is your baby?

2. Which of the following are observed in your baby?

3. How long have the symptoms been going on?

4. Are there any changes in your baby's feeding and sleeping patterns?

5. Are there any visible changes in your baby's mouth (for example, is the tip of the tooth visible)?

I can give more specific recommendations based on this information.

I recommend that you go to the pediatrics department for a specialist opinion. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
