Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Teething problems are always there during teething. That's why the name.
Very sharp teeth push from inside gums to erupt. This lead to swelling of gums which may cause mild to moderate fever, rise of temperature of head and palms and feet,. These areas are well perfused (high blood flow) so help in reduce raised temperature.
This causes irritation of gums thereby leading child to try to chew every thing (besides normal cephalo caudal development) and this may give the child intestinal infections.
You may try paracetamol syrup with kind help of your pediatrician during these inflammatory stages. It will ease out pain, irritation and also take care of mild rise in temperature.
For lose motions and respiratory infection you need to take proper treatment.
I find this answer helpful
