Should a four year old be growing molars my child has ten teeth but been having odd days of hot temp and snotty nose rosie cheeks?

Teething can cause a range of symptoms in children, including low-grade fever, runny nose, flushed cheeks, and irritability. Most children get their first molars between the ages of 5 and 7, so it's possible that your child is teething. However, it is important to know that your child's age might be a bit early to be teething. Other possible causes of your child's symptoms include a viral infection or an allergic reaction. If your child's fever is high (over 104 degrees Fahrenheit) or persists for more than 3 days, or if your child has any other concerning symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, it is important to take them to see a doctor.

Here are some tips to help relieve your child's teething pain:

* Give your child over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as directed by your doctor.

* Apply a cold compress or teething ring to your child's gums.

* Offer your child cold, soft foods, such as applesauce or yogurt.

* Avoid giving your child hard or crunchy foods, such as crackers or chips.

* Rub your child's gums gently with a clean finger.

* Talk to your child's doctor about other ways to relieve teething pain.

If you think your child's symptoms may be caused by a viral infection or an allergic reaction, it's important to talk to a doctor. They will help to diagnose the specific cause and give your child the appropriate treatment.
