  5. I have a 14-month-old daughter who has had hot palms and feet since yesterday. Her temperature was 102.3, and now it's around 100. She has 2 teeth and seems to be dealing with sore gums. Could this be because of teething? What should I do?

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.
