What Causes Red Dot On Temples And Forehead During Teething In A Infant?
My 14 month old had a fever while teething and I noticed he had a red dot on both temples and one on his forehead between his eyes. They went away and have now reappeared about a week later but without a fever. What could it be? What symptoms should we look for?

Hi...this is not related to teething. Initially if they have appeared with fever, that means it could be a viral illness associated problem. But this recurrence, seems to an urticarial rash or allergic rash. Do not worry. Over the counter anti-allergic medications will do the trick if he is being too much bothered with it.
