What Causes Fluctuation In Body Temperature?
Question: Hello, our 3 year old has had a fever over the last two days - it went up to 39.5 last night, but this morning he seemed fine. (I had the fever last week and it knocked me for six so I was surprised that he recovered so quickly). As he seemed fine we didn't take him to the doctors (his temp was around 36.9).
However, this evening he has gone to bed and keeps waking in floods of tears and I've just checked his temperature - it is around 35?
Can you help us on this please, I am worried.

Dear XXXXXXX
Every individual is unique and responds in unique way to the same disease. It is good indeed that your son has recovered soon, not a XXXXXXX : Children have good healing capability.
Many of the children are irritable during fever and also during recovery phase following illness. If the child is accepting feeds well, passing stools and urine normally then there is no cause for concern.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
