Question 1

9 yrs old had 103 fever with puffy eyes and cough mostly at night time for the past 10 days, dr said it might be a virus. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Need Evaluation: Fever for 10 days warrants a medical evaluation.  Possible causes include viruses, but also pneumonia, meningitis, bronchitis to name a few.  Have you child evaluated before the today, before the weekend.

Question 2

child woke up with very puffy/swollen eyes slight fever last night and cough, very light rash all over face and torso no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Watchful wait: Sometimes children will wake up in the morning with puffy eyes from a back up of fluid from their nose/sinus area. It sort of pools in that area (if you will). Important considerations would be 1. does it go away over the course of the day? 2. does it worsen over the course of the day? 3. is she she dehydrated? 4. is she urinating as much as she usually does? If not better in 2 days, go see doctor

Question 7

still experiencing fever,dry mouth,swollen eyes/salivary gland

recovery time?

Accepted Answer

Swear off, OK?: Even if you did a large amount, it would be out of your system by now. In fact, effects are not expected at all after ~5 hrs. Here's info: http://drug.addictionblog.org/how-long-does-cocaine-stay-in-your-system/
If you had enough to be toxic - you might have died, so you were lucky this time. Don't press your luck. Steer clear of it. Also it can be 'laced' w/ poisons. It's a bad thing! Best wishes

Question 8

my 3 yr old son has had lime green mucus leaking from swollen eyes for 3 days w/ runny nose, woke up with 104.5 fever today. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Seek medical attention.  You may ask the emergency room doctor or pediatrician for a consultation with an eye doctor or and ear, nose throat doctor, depending on your son's condition.

Question 9

brother has been in the hospital since saturday bad headache, swollen eyes ,vomit high fever could he have migraine doctor done test but all negative?

Accepted Answer

Meningitis: Migraines do not give you high fever.  He needs a lumbar puncture if not done.  If this is negative then its viral meningitis....so it doesn't mean theres not diagnosis when you don't find anything.

Question 10

can a child have a strep rash even if she doesn't have a strep throat, no fever, no strawberry tongue but she has swollen eyes and face?

Accepted Answer

No, but: You cannot have scarletina (strep rash) without having a strep infection somewhere. It could be throat, ear, skin, joint, blood...- does not have to be strep throat. Many rashes mimic strep rash, though, so need to make sure provider is 100% confident it is a strep rash and not some other dermatitis or viral exanthema causing or closely mimicking the strep rash.
