Hi dear
welcome to the HCM,
Probably baby is getting some viral infection leading to such symptoms.
Teething here does not seems to be the culprit.
Give the child paracetamol syrup 15 mg /kg every 6 to 4 hourly basis.
Plenty of fluid and take care of the Nutrition.
Ear drop containing analgesic and antifungal like otogesic or otocin ear drops may be poured both the ears .
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
