My 9 year old daughter had a fever 3 weeks ago, which lasted four days. We noted a small red rash on the side of her cheek at the time, but the doctor felt she had a stomache virus (she threw up one time, after taking medicine). Yesterday her fever returned, without vomiting. She says other than an achy head she feels ok, just hot and cold of course. But I've noticed the rash again, in the exact same spot. She says that she feels as though a tooth is pushing up through her gum behind her baby molars. I know she is rather young for her first adult molars but she has bloomed early in other areas. Does anyone know if this is a common occurance, to grow the first adult molars at age 9, and to have persistent fever while it is pushing up? It has not evidenced eruption, I can only go by the rash and what my child tells me. I would appreciate any responses.

Thanks,
D.
