The KidsDoc Symptom Checker is available on HealthyChildren.org, the official American Academy of Pediatrics’ website for parents, at www.healthychildren.org/symptom-checker.
Parents can enter their child’s symptoms into the interactive tool and receive up-to-date advice about how to treat minor illnesses at home, or when to call the doctor immediately.
I am happy to see a “mouth and teeth” section including this advice for teething:
Caution: Blaming teething for fevers can lead to a delayed diagnosis of ear infections, urinary tract infections, meningitis and other infections.
