Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Teething Cause Diarrhea, Fever And Shivering?
15 mth old son who has had diarrhea for 3 days now, a fever above 100 for 2 days and just tonight at bath time he came down with violent shivering in the tub. He was leaning forward in the tub, kind of like constipation? I took him out and he felt so hot. He continued to shiver until he feel asleep in my arms. I took his temp under his arm and it read 102.5. I gave him ibuprofrin and put him to bed. He is teething; getting his molars now. But I am wondering if this is something we need to go to urgent care for or if he can wait until his 15mth check up which will be in 2 days. Advice??
