Teething

 
 

Teething usually begins at around six months and is a natural occurrence, which may not cause any problems. Some children, however, experience discomfort throughout the teething process. Signs of teething may include a rise in temperature, redness and swelling, restlessness by day and sleeplessness by night, rashes or diarrhoea.

Victorian Government Health Information has more information on this topic.
