teething.........

As u know, my Sarah is now beginning to grow teeth... I felt it masa balik kg last week...dia punya gila mengigit, everything that she can grab, dia akan gigit geram mcm tak penah gigit barang...bagi teether taknak...apa la perangai anak daraku sorg ni....hari tu maksu bagi main her handphone, smp berjemur handphone dia...mana tak nya...drowning ngan air liur sarah...padan muka maksu...

hari ni i realize sarah had mcm rashes on the face..punya i la risau...bawa jumpe doc, he said rashes biasa jer...kalau esok still ada rashes on her face, for sure i will take her to peaditrician....then i surf the net for symptoms for teething baby and this what i found:-

"Experts disagree about whether teething actually causes symptoms — like fussiness, diarrhea, and fever — or whether these common symptoms are not related to teething at all and just coincidentally appear at the same time as emerging teeth. Regardless, many parents maintain that their teething babies do experience discomfort (though some babies get through the process with no problems at all). The symptoms most likely to trouble a teether include:

• Drooling (which can lead to a facial rash)
• Gum swelling and sensitivity
• Irritability or fussiness
• Biting behavior
• Refusing food
• Sleep problems

Though many parents report that their babies have loose stools, runny noses, or a fever just before a new tooth arrives, most experts don't think teething is to blame for these symptoms. One who does is William Sears, pediatrician and author of The Baby Book. Sears believes that teething can cause diarrhea and a mild diaper rash because your baby's excessive saliva ends up in his gut and loosens his stools. Inflammation in the gums, he thinks, may cause a low fever (under 101 degrees Fahrenheit).

On the other hand, child development experts such as Penelope Leach assert that teething cannot cause fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or loss of appetite and that these are signs of illness that should be checked out. Noted pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton says such symptoms are probably due to an infection unrelated to teething, but that the stress associated with teething could make your child more vulnerable to infection right before a new tooth appears."- taken from www.babycenter.com.

it is true?????my mom also ckp kalau baby nak tumbuh gigi, she/he will have fever...1st thing my mom did masa i balik kg last week, she took bawang merah, cut the bottom and tenyeh the cut onion to the gum...what's the purpose, i lupa lak nak tanya....
