What Causes An Intermittent Rise Of Temperature?
My 5 yr old son has had temps on and off for last 16 hrs. When they peak it is 39.6 he is also complaining of a headache on his forehead, and his eyes are a bit sore. Goes from being dull to very sharp. He looks pale, dark under eyes. I have been pushing fluids, hes not eating much though.
