The level of pain that a baby can handle will be different for each child. Some may appear to suffer more than others while they are<unk> . The soreness and swelling of the gums before a tooth comes through is the cause for the pain and fussiness a baby experiences during this change. These symptoms usually begin about three to five days before the tooth shows, and they disappear as soon as the tooth breaks the skin. Some babies are not even bothered by<unk> . Common symptoms include drooling or dribbling, increased chewing, mood changes, irritability or crankiness, and swollen gums. Crying, sleeplessness, restless sleep at night, and mild fever are also associated with<unk> .<unk>  can begin as early as 3 months and continue until a child's third birthday. In rare cases, an area can be filled with fluid and appears over where a tooth is erupting and cause the gums to be even more sensitive. Pain is often associated more with large molars since they cannot penetrate through the gums as easily as the other teeth. Some noticeable symptoms that a baby has entered the<unk>  stage include chewing on their fingers or toys to help relieve pressure on their gums. Babies might also refuse to eat or drink due to the pain. Symptoms will generally fade on their own, but a doctor should be notified if they worsen or are persistent.<unk>  may cause signs and symptoms in the mouth and gums, but does not cause problems elsewhere in the body. Pulling on the ears is another sign of pain; the pain in the mouth throbs throughout the baby's head so they pull their ears believing that it will provide relief. Mild rash can develop around the mouth due to skin irritation that is caused by excessive drooling or dribbling. Sequence of appearance Stages of tooth emergence, at 0 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years. The infant teeth tend to emerge in pairs – first one lower incisor emerges then the other lower incisor emerges before the next set begin to emerge. The general pattern of emergence is: # Lower central incisors (2) at approximately 6 months # Upper central incisors (2) at approximately 8 months # Upper lateral incisors (2) at approximately 10 months # Lower lateral incisors (2) at approximately 10 months # First molars (4) at approximately 14 months # Canines (4) at approximately 18 months # Second molars (4) at approximately 2–3 years Milk teeth tend to emerge sooner in females than in males. The exact pattern and initial starting times of<unk>  appear to be hereditary. When and how teeth appear in an infant has no bearing on the health of the child. Misdiagnosis as<unk> <unk>  has not been shown to cause fever or diarrhea; however, the belief that<unk>  causes fever is extremely common among parents. Whilst there is some evidence that<unk>  can cause an elevated temperature, it does not cause fever (medically defined as rectal temperature greater than . One small 1992 study found a significant rise in temperature on the day of eruption of the first tooth. Another study in 2000 found "mild temperature elevation" but not fever over . There is a risk that fever around the age of<unk>  is dismissed as due to<unk>  when it is actually due to illness, particularly infection by herpes viruses. "Coincidentally, primary tooth eruption begins at about the time that infants are losing maternal antibody protection against the herpes virus. Also, reports on<unk>  difficulties have recorded symptoms which are remarkably consistent with primary oral herpetic infection such as fever, irritability, sleeplessness, and difficulty with eating." "Younger infants with higher residual levels of antibodies would experience milder infections and these would be more likely to go unrecognized or be dismissed as<unk>  difficulty." Herpes virus infection may take the form of primary herpetic gingivostomatitis (HSV-1) or of infection by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), which infects 90% of children by age 2. "The symptoms of elevated temperature and facial rash could be explainable by infection with the HHV-6 agent, which is ubiquitous among infants of<unk>  age." Other viruses may also cause fevers which may be misattributed to<unk> , but the oral involvement that may occur with herpes viruses makes misdiagnosis a particular risk for such infections.
