Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Teething will not cause fever.
It may be some minor infection either bacterial or viral.
ASOM and UTI should be ruled out.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose 6 hourly will reduce fever.
Better consult pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
