The doctor will not only diagnose, but also tell you the next course of action to alleviate the condition of the infant.
The next couple of days with symptoms of diarrhea or cough are not indicative of the diagnosis. But if on the third day nothing changes, then only the doctor will help. It is at this time that the child's immune system is weakened, and therefore other changes may adversely affect his health.
Each of the symptoms should be considered separately in order to know what measures to take in a given situation, before going to a doctor.
Diarrhea and fever
Diarrhea, diarrhea, stool disorder - no matter how to properly name the disease, it is important to know how to deal with it.
If there is a similar symptom during the eruption of the first teeth, then it will necessarily be associated with a rise in temperature body. The child takes the temperature up to 38 degrees normally, it worries mostly parents. This temperature is not even worth trying to knock down.

When and in what order do the first teeth appear?
The first shoots, or rather the rudiments, of what is called the teeth, arise even at the stage of fetal development. Despite the existing opinion that the teeth of a child should appear in one or another period of his life, this is far from being the case. In fact, there are no specific dates for the beginning of the appearance of the first tooth. The term of the first tooth in the baby laid in the genes his parents. The probability of teeth germination at a certain time, similar to the same situation in parents is great, but this cannot be taken as a rule. The peculiarities of the development of an infant strongly influence how his body will develop.
There are cases of the birth of children with teeth. In newborns this is also possible in the coming days or months. But existing statistics claim that the first teeth begin to climb in 4-7 months. A slight difference in the normal process is no cause for alarm. Once, on a wonderful day you just feel a bite, because usually parents check the gums of the child with a finger.
Order of growth of teeth in a child
The sequence of the appearance of teeth, despite the existing opinion, does not have a strict sequence. But it usually happens like this:
-
first in the child the teeth begin to appear in the bottom row. Two cutters in the middle, cut and together and apart. But in any case, they should appear first; - the next pair is cut central incisors at the top;
- in pairs the child will also have lateral incisors: first this will happen in the bottom row, and then in the top row. After a year, as a rule, there should be four teeth at the top and four below;
- following the rule, the canines are on the list, but they give way to the first molars. In place of the canines, there are still gaps. The molars, as well as others, go in pairs: the upper pair - the lower pair;
- now it was the turn of fangs;
- the second molars close the loop.
Up to three years, a child will form a series of upper and lower teeth in the amount of 19-20 pieces. With these teeth, before they start falling out, he will have to live for another three years. At six years old, the child begins to appear permanent teeth.
