thanks for the suggestions ladys, i took him to the doctors and he spent 3 weeks in hospital, it was his bodys way of telling us something was wrong, he had a growth on the back of his throat that needed to be cut out, wasnt cancerous but was still a worry. he is doing fine now

Is he teething? Is he drooling a lot?



Any changes in diet recently? Has he seen a pediatrician?

It also sounds like teething to me. My baby girl has been 'teething' since about 2 months, she is almost 7 months and still nothing. I can see 4 bumpers where teeth are but covered in gums. It can be a very long process. Does he have any signs of teething such as biting done on your finger or toys (my babies would bite down hard or attack a toy lol) does it look like he is chewing on his fingers, drooling more then usual, rosy cheeks? What did the doctor say?

Has he had a good poo recently? Not going or holding it, or being bunged up can make them do all sorts of odd things.



I have two girls, one 3 year old and when she hasn't been for a couple of days she gets stroppy. The 20 month old gets irritable and doesnt want cuddles.



Just a thought x

Has he maby started teething??..or a little ear infection...these could be reasons for his bloated face & holding his face..does he touch his ears or rub his ear on his shoulder,get upset if u touch his ears-mouth-face, my 8 month old is doing all the abouve & shaking his head from side to side alot ...& im pretty sure histeeth are moving into place, they might not be coming through in the next few days..but there is movement, & its bothering him big time...last night he got a 38.8 fever ,had no appitight.& vomited all over me justbefore bed..im putinghis soothers into the fridge and letting him drink alot of water with rescue drops in it ..gave him a fever sapository and then he was fine again....but moms know there own kids best if u are still unsure after 2 days or so take him to the nures or gp..good luck!!

I agree, teething. And if it doesn't stop you may need to take him in.

It can be a long time from the point of "teething" to actually cutting. The gums start getting sore, sometimes they look swollen, ans all the other symptoms happen.

and still no signs of teeth

hes a little bit better not much. i have him panandol which helped him get off to sleep.. no new foods just what he always been having. hes not on any medications so doubt its a reaction to that... all he really wants to do is drink and sleep.. im taking him to the doctors first thing monday morning if hes not any better

Yeah...any updates? I have a 7 month old also who's behavior has been "off". Took her to pedi and all is fine. Seems to be teething. I have founf that those mesh feeding bags have become the pain savior. I have frozen cubes of her baby food pears and yogurt and popping them in their. She really likes it and then is numb from the cold for awhile afterwards. Let us know how he is. Hope all well!

This was a couple of days ago...any update? I hope he is ok!!

Sounds like a food reaction to me.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 01/07/2012

Have you tried giving him a pain reliever like Motrin or Tylenol? If so, did that help?

~♥Little Miss - posted on 01/07/2012

Teething starts hurting well before you can see it. To be on the safe side, see the pediatrician to ease your mind. Good luck, hope all is well. They lose their appetite, drool, can get rashes on the body, have runny nose, and act a bit like they have a cold when they are teething. Also, they can run a slight temp.

Awe, poor baby. Sounds like he is teething to me.

Sharon - posted on 01/06/2012

Is he on any solids yet? has he tried a new food? Maybe he's reacting badly to it.

Rebekah - posted on 01/06/2012

Could it be hives? Did he eat anything new?

Shayna - posted on 01/06/2012

He could be having a severe allergy reaction. After having dd#1 I mysteriously became allergic to penicillin when it had never bothered me before. I was prescribed amoxicillin for a sinus infection, and after taking the first pill, I got extremely sleepy, itchy, puffy, and hot to the touch, even though I felt extremely cold. It didn't take long for my blood pressure to drop so low that I fainted. Ambulance had to come take me to the hospital while my husband stood holding our 2-week old baby. So definitely get him checked out. Odd swelling is not a good sign, and better safe than sorry.

Just because you can't feel the teeth doesn't mean that they aren't coming through. :)
Genny has a valid point, there is a chance that it could be mumps...but in a child so young, I'm not so sure. They don't even immunize for mumps until after a year old (commonly occurs in kids 2-12, but CAN happen at any age)
Here's a link to info about mumps:

You can always bring your son into the doctor to have him checked out. :)

Does he have a fever? Could it be mumps?

Megan - posted on 01/06/2012

he has no bumps so i wouldnt think so... have given him cold teething rings and face washers but nothing seems to be working for him

Denikka - posted on 01/05/2012

I'd also say teething. See if he'll chew on a cold cloth or frozen toy. You can also use a numbing cream like orajel (I personally don't) or something like baby asprin or tempra drops :)
Good luck :)

Is he teething by chance?
