Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My 2.5year old son has been unwell for 3 days with high fever (he suffers with febrile seizures and has had another one on Monday - his 5th now - due to spike in temperature). We've followed all medical advice and his temperature returned to normal during the course of today. This evening his temperature has dropped, however, to 34.7 -35.1. I've wrapped him in an extra layer in bed to see if this helps bring his temperature up.
Is this the right thing to do? Is it normal post fever for a child's temperature to drop? I'm using a thermometer that goes under the armpit to measure his temperature.
I'm just seeking some reassurance as to whether to worry or not?
