They can if the area where the tooth is coming in is infected. However I'm sure you would have noticed this. Alternatively (and much more likely), having a new tooth come in can make anyone feel slightly run-down (lack of sleep from tooth ache, not wanting to eat etc...) and hence more prone to infections. I suspect that your child has picked up a cold/sore throat virus which is causing the temperature. It's probably best to treat the fever as if it were caused by a general virus - with paracetamol and fluids (or whatever your normal routine is).

If they're old enough, you can try getting them to rinse their mouth with something called "Difflam Oral rinse" - it's an antiseptic mouthwash which is really good at getting rid of sore throats/mouth infections. However I'm not entirely sure how old a child has to be before they can use mouthwash (risk of swallowing it).

Is it normal for an 18-year-old to have loose teeth with a tooth coming in underneath?

It's rare. It could be a wisdom tooth if it's in the back, in which case it would be coming in wrong and displacing the tooth on top. However, it's conceivable that you have one hold-out tooth that simply never fell out until now. Hello. Because you have a tooth coming in underneath then this will cause the lose teeth. So yes this is normal for the situation but you will need to see a dentist to have the new tooth removed and your lose teeth sorted out.

Can 16 year olds become gadget testers in the UK and how would i become one?

It depends on a series of factors. If there is a gadget coming out for 16 year olds or a range for 15-17 year olds then it'd be best to put your name forward for testing. How you would come to do this? I'd find out the name of gadget companies in the same country as you, go onto their websites and find out how to do so.
