Toddler with fever
Hello. My 2 1/2 yr old son has a fever of 39.3 and he's also getting his molar so i was wondering could the fever be bc of the molar? does anyone know? tahnks for any info on this.
Answers:
this very well could be the cause in this case.Just curious though,i am assuming the temp given just has to be celsius(sp?) and not the standard?what would that be in the standard measurement?FB
Answers:
My guess would indeed be the tooth coming in. If it's really bothering you child use motrin and it would ease quickly.
Answers:
oh yeah it's celsius, in farenheit it would be 102.74 degrees. I'm gonna try giving him motrin to see if he gets better. thanks for your help.
Answers:
Getting teeth does not cause a fever. A fever is a sign of an infection. You should give him motrin every 6 hours and tylenol every 4 hours....switch off until tomorrow. Keep him in a t-shirt, wrapping him up in blankets DOES NOT help...many people think they will sweat out the fever, that is not the truth. If the temp rises after motrin, call his DR. Watch him very closely. Hope this helps.
