Small Child, Fever, Vomiting, Foul Smelling Urine. Taken Tylenol. Cause Of Worry?
My 2 year old woke up from her nap yesterday running a fever of 101.9. After giving her Tylenol & keeping a cool rag on get forehead it continued to climb, stopping at 102.1. She started vomiting shortly after. She s managed to keep pedialite down through the night & her fever was down to 99.5. This morning I changed her diaper & her urine smelt foul. Her fever is also back up to 100 2. Is this reason to be concerned? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
If the urine had not been foul smelling earlier and has started smelling foul lately then it needs to be examined routinely. If pus cells are increased then a culture is warranted. A urine infection can give rise to fever and foul smell.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.
Regards,
RKK

Hi
The cause of fever in your child may be urinary tract infection as the urine is foul smelling. Give plenty of oral fluids and continue tylenol for fever in prescribed dosage and some basic investigations required like Complete blood picture, complete urine examination and urine for culture and sensitivity so consult your Pediatrician for examination and ivestigation and antibiotic treatment if needed.
