Mike, here's a hint about teething - many babies run a high fever (my son's would hit 101-102) JUST BECAUSE OF THE TEETHING. His pediatrician was my pediatrician when I was growing up and had seen thousands of kids over the years. He said every book said babies didn't run fevers with teething so doctors would write out a prescription for Amoxicillin each time and now as they get older it's harder for the drugs to have any effect because they've built up a tolerance. But our Dr. said it happened with all 3 of his kids and he'd seen it 100s of times.

So.....if your baby gets a fever and Tylenol brings it down immediately, they feel better w/o the fever and a tooth pops up, don't believe what the "books" say Not saying don't get care for her, lol, but just that it's a possibility. This same thing happened to my son even when he got his permanent teeth, BTW.
