Everything Parents Need To Know About Teething


Let's talk about teething rash and how to manage teething pain! Can teething cause a rash? The jury is still out on how accurate teething-related side effects and ailments are in infants. But some older studies do link teething rash to when babies cut their teeth. The good news is that usually, the teething symptoms subside within about a week. The bad news is if you wait that long to see a doctor about major illnesses like rashes, diarrhea, or a fever, you run the risk of missing something serious. Always consult with your pediatrician and pediatric dentist. Make sure your baby sees a dentist by the time their first tooth erupts. The peace of mind in and of itself is worth it!
