What Causes Fever And Chills In A Child At Night?
My 2 year old has had a fever of around 101 degrees Fahrenheit since yesterday afternoon. She didn t have much of an appetite today and her behavior is normal during the day when I give her Motrin. At night her fever spikes and she gets terrible chills. She has also complained of pain in her throat but only a few times, it is not consistent. What is wrong with her?

HI...this could be a viral illness. But as she is complaining of sore throat, it could also be a streptococcal sore throat. I suggest you get the rapid streptococcal antigen test done and then if it is negative we can treat it as viral illness.
