Is Temperature Followed By Vomiting, Flushed Cheeks, Icy To Touch Forehead, Nose And Ears In A Child Concerning?
My 2 year old had a temp earlier in the week but was well in herself. A couple of hours ago she vomited twice and went to sleep shortly after. Her cheeks are flushed and body feels quite hot but showing no temp, however her forehead, nose and ears are almost icy to touch. Should I be worried?

Observe the child. She could have got a gastrointestinal infection which could manifest with rise of temperature at times and low temperature at other times. If the activity level of the child and the feeding is fine, you need not get worried. But if there the child becomes lethargic, you would need to take the child to a doctor and get her evaluated.
