It is from six months that it becomes higherthe risk of catching a cold or infection, because even in children who are breast-fed, at this time in the body there is no antibodies that they received in the womb of the mother. Next, the baby begins to develop its own immunity. Do not think that if the pope gets sick and the baby has a runny nose, then this is a sign of cutting teeth. Do not write off all diseases for dentition. Parents simply need to know that when the teeth are chopped, the symptoms may appear as a cold. This is a rather painful process that can worsen a child's condition, but moderately. If your child is suffering from high fever, does not want anything, eat and drink, then such symptoms can not be a manifestation of cutting teeth. Immediately call a doctor.

As a rule, blush gums, they become inflamed and swollen. The temperature, when the teeth are cut, can also rise. Usually it does not rise above 38 degrees and lasts no more than 3 days. Coryza and cough can also be considered symptoms. But if the cough is very strong, and the discharge from the nose is green and abundant, then it is already the symptoms of an acute respiratory disease, but not a teething. Some parents on the forums talk about the fact that during the eruption the child begins diarrhea. This symptom should also be treated with special attention.
