Symptoms and signs of teething

Most infants and children eventually get all 20 primary teeth, which fall out and are replaced by 32 permanent teeth. Some signs of teething: Irritability (As the sharp little tooth rises closer to the surface your baby’s gums may become increasingly more sore and painful, leading to your baby being very fussy. The pain and discomfort is most often worse during the first teeth coming in and later when the molars come in because of their bigger size.), Drooling (From three to four months of age you may see your baby start drooling more often than normal. Teething stimulates drooling, which is often worse with some babies than others.), Coughing (The extra saliva can cause your baby to occasionally cough or gag. This is usually nothing to worry about as long as your baby seems fine and shows no signs of a cold or flu and does not run a high fever.), Chin rash, Biting & gnawing, Cheek rubbing and ear pulling, Low-grade fever.
