Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Teething causes fever in infants during the months when their first teeth erupt?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that teething does not cause fever, though it may slightly raise temperature; a single case report and a 1904 advertisement associate fever with teething.
