I have a 14-month-old daughter, and since yesterday her palms and feet have been really warm. Her temperature was 102.3, but now it's around 100. She's only got two teeth so far and her gums seem sore. Could this be because of teething? What do you think?

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.
