Is it teething? Should I be worried?

Teething doesn’t cause diarrhoea, if you look on nhs website it will tell you the side effects xx
My LO has just got over having diarrhoea for almost 2 weeks. Info on the NHS website said infant diarrhoea can last up to 7 days so I waited until then (he didn’t have a temp or anything) then took him to the doctors. Doc checked him over and everything was fine and said it was likely a tummy bug. Also said it could be a bit of teething. If you want peace of mind there’s no harm taking him to the doctors, or keep an eye on it for another few days and see if it clears up.
hmm, it could be teething, but since he's happy and no fever, maybe just keep an eye on it for now? here's what the 'Heal Baby Care App' says.... "It's common for babies to experience changes in their bowel movements, especially around teething or when introducing new foods. Since your baby is happy, has no fever, and has been fine with purees before, it may be related to the new foods or teething. However, if the diarrhea persists for more than a couple of days, or if you notice signs of dehydration (like fewer wet diapers), it’s best to consult a healthcare professional. In the meantime, ensure he stays hydrated by offering plenty of fluids. Have you noticed any specific foods that seem to trigger the diarrhea?"
My baby has been a poo monster since starting proper weaning. It is finally calming down after 3 weeks x
