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.
What Causes Child To Laugh For No Reason During Fever?
My daughter has had a fever that has gone up and down all day. It was high a bit ago, and as it started to go down, she is laughing. For no reason. She woke up half laughing, half crying, and now it s just laughing on and off. Is this caused by the fever? Can I wait til morning to see a dr?
If this is the first episode of laughing and crying spell, altered consciousness, etc., triggered by high fever then you need to consult your pediatrician as early as possible. If your child has repeated bouts of laughing or crying for no apparent reason going on over weeks then there might be possibility of autism or other behavioral disorder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
