The teething virus

H J Bennett et al. Pediatr Infect Dis. 1986 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

A prospective study was carried out on 500 teething infants which demonstrated that a new infectious agent, the human teething virus, is responsible for the febrile response that accompanies the eruption of deciduous teeth. Speculations are made concerning whether or not primary care physicians will began prescribing amoxicillin instead of Jack Daniel's to treat teething infants and their parents.
