What Causes Fever And Shivering?
Hi my 19 month old daughter woke up shivering, and can t seem to calm down but she is finally asleep. I checked on her forhead for her temperature, and found out that she was burning up. She is still showing signs of a fever. Should i give her Motrin? or should i just go to the Hospital? Please help.

any child with fever should undergo history taking and complete physical examination to reach the diagnosis and treatment of coarse depend on the diagnosis .
most of the time it's self limiting viral illness , but serious causes of fever must be excluded like pneumonia , meningitis ...Etc
I highly recommend you to give her the antipyretic and rush to her doctor to see her and fully exam her .
I hope this helps
