What Causes Fever And Abdominal Distension In A Child?
My daughter is 2 1/2 years old. She has a fever. It was 103.2. We gave tylenol and 3 hours later is was the same. It peaked at 104. We gave motrin at 3 1/2 hours post-tylenol and the fever is coming down. Her abdomen is very bloated looking. I'm concerned. . .

Bloated abdomen may be due to gasses, constipation, accumulation of fluid (ascites), intestinal obstruction etc.
High fever with bloated abdomen warrants that you get your baby examined by a pediatrian to rule out some serious causes.
