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 Could Cause High Fever, Loss Of Appetite And Sore Throat In A Child?
My daughter is 20 months old and she recently had a fever that peaked at 103. With this she also had a loss of appetite (which she is a picky eater any ways) and she wouldnt drink anything. She would also grab her throat a lot so I assumed she had a sore throat. The part that scares me the most is that she has suddenly become unbalanced when she is walking. Which made me think it was an ear infection. Well I took her to her Doctor and they ruled out ear infection and strep throat. Took some blood and said it could be dehydration. Since then she has been drinking and eating but she is still off balance... It saddens and scares me to see my baby girl like this. Could this be a Big problem? What could it be?
Hi... imbalance suddenly while walking especially with fever is an indication that your kid may be having a viral cerebellitis. I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room and she might require an MRI brain too to find out if it is so.
