Intermittent fever help

[chickens987]

Yesterday DD had a great day at daycare but was cranky when she got home. I checked and she had a fever of 100.3. Went down with Advil and she was ok today - crankier than usual, but no fever all day. Cue 6pm, 100.3.

Any ideas? The only time DD ever had a fever before this, it was strep and obvious. I have no idea why this fever is only coming at night...

Could it be teeth?

I was wondering about that but she's been a super easy teether so far generally - never had a fever or this kind of clingyness - so I am skeptical.

Teeth was my guess as well.

It could be a virus and she's only fighting it with fever. E's had fevers the last 2 weekends w/no other symptoms.

and if this is teeth I will feel really dumb.

Some viruses are like that - we've had intermittent fevers and intermittent stomach bugs (the worst because you think it's over, let the kids eat regular food, and BAM - puke everywhere).

However, DS1's only symptom for strep the last 2 times he's had it has been a fever. If it lasts another day, I'd probably call the pedi.
