Biting and sucking: If your baby is biting and sucking on everything within reach, this is an attempt to make the gums feel better as your baby knows how to self-soothe.
Gum pain: Sensitive gums can make your child irritable. So, if he is fussy for no reason, you need to check if he is teething.
Increased salivation: Is the front of your child’s shirt wet all the time? Does he drool a little more than usual? All babies bite, chew, and drool more by the time they are 4 months old while they are teething.
Facial rash: Your baby has a facial rash from the constant wetness and drooling. The moisture can irritate your baby’s skin and cause rashes.
Elevation in body temperature: A slight increase in body temperature could be due to your child’s teething, but if your child’s body temperature rises to forty, this is not due to teething and you should consult a doctor.
