Do your kids get random fevers?

[cleo29]

C has started a trend this winter of developing a fever in the middle of the night, no other major symptoms some coughing on Monday, and then during the day is fine. Perhaps looks a bit tired, but ok and no more fever.

Allergies can't cause fevers, right?

[papie]

Yes, it happens a couple of times a year. A few hours of fever, fatigue and then they are all better again.

What is the temp? My pedi still goes by the 100.4 rule for ds.

Non-mom checking in. How do you know they develop a random fever in the middle of the night? Are they incredibly hot to touch, or do you frequently take their temperature?

They wake up crying usually.

I don't have kids, but this used to happen to me quite a bit when I was younger. The drs. didn't really think it was a big deal.

I've had it happen a couple of times as an adult, but nothing I've really worried about.

It was 101.3 at about 2:30 am.  When I put her to bed she felt a little warm to me and I thought she might be on the way to a fever.

It seems like this has happened  before after being at our next door neighbor's house, so I am thinking either someone was getting over something over there or there is something that bothers her system. They have tons of animals and we have noticed her getting sniffly while being over there in the past.

Hmmm. I've had fevers pop up in the evening and be gone by morning before.

[iamgrace]

No, he doesn't. My thought is maybe she's fighting something.

Henry is running a fever right now, though. Not sure what from.

[cleo29]

She is a little sniffly, so perhaps it is just part of this cold or whatever. Appetite is good as are her spirits. Provided she does not wake up with a fever again, she will go to school tomorrow. **crosses fingers**

On the opposite end, DS has had one now since Friday.  He was dx with an ear infection on Friday and was put on Amox, but usually the fever is gone the next day.  Not sure why this one is still hanging on.  Pedi said if he still has it tomorrow to bring him in.  Hmmm...

Yep. DS seems to have this happen about once a month either during the night or at daycare. Fever for a few hours, no other symptoms and then fine.
