Question 1

need help. is 102 a high fever for a 14 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But this temperature is also high for everyone. Cool baths or showers along with an antipyretic should bring the temperature down. If needed go to an urgent care center.

Question 2

how many days my 14 year old child must rest after high fever before school?

Accepted Answer

24hrs fever free.: Also depends what was the cause of his fever. Keep hydrated.

Question 3

my 2 & a half year old son had high fever and wasn't eating. after seeing a doctor, his temp is stable but still not eating. he is weak. plz advise?

Accepted Answer

ER: Please bring your child to the ER. When his symptoms are worsening and he is not eating or drinking he will need IV fluids and further evaluation. The golden rule is to always go back for reevaluation if symptoms worsen. Good luck to you and your son.

Question 4

high fever in 2 year old?

Accepted Answer

See doctor asap: High fevers in that age group require immediate attention. See the child's pediatrician or go to an urgent care center or ER.

Question 5

my two year old has a high fever?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: At 2, a kid is expected to have about 5-7 upper respiratory viruses and 2-3 diarrhea viruses/yr. Fever is often the first stage of any illness, with other signs/patterns revealing more information over the next day or so. If the kid never has other symptoms, his immune system may just fight it off before it does more.

Question 6

what is high fever for six year old boy?

Accepted Answer

No Definition: The specific definition of a true fever is roughly 100.6 degree f (38 c).  A "high" fever is a subjective term and not medically defined.  Some physicians say 104, others say 105.  The entire clinical picture is important when evaluating a child, so if your child seems very ill, then please seek attention regardless of the specific temperature.

Question 7

what is considered high fever on a one year old?

Accepted Answer

100.4 F = 38 C: Check out http://www.Aafp.Org/afp/2007/0615/p1805.Html. We tolerate higher temperatures in older children who don't appear "toxic". But younger children bear more involved evaluation since their immune systems aren't mature & they haven't received complete set of vaccinations. However, even healthy appearing children w/102.2 f = 39 c need further evaluation. Btw these temperatures are rectal.

Question 8

high fever but no other symptoms for 6 year old, help?

Accepted Answer

Treat the fever: There are two main things to consider here - how many days has the fever lasted? (If over 5 days, please see your doctor). Also, how is your child's behavior when you treat the fever? If your child is lethargic and ill appearing, please see your doctor. If your child is still active and playful and the fever passes before 5 days, then it was likely a virus.

Question 9

my 2 year old son only has high fever 38.9 no other symptoms what could be wrong ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: At 2, a kid is expected to have about 5-7 upper respiratory viruses and 2-3 diarrhea viruses/yr. Fever is often the first stage of any illness, with other signs/patterns revealing more information over the next day or so. If the kid never has other symptoms, his immune system may just fight it off before it does more.

Question 10

my 2 two year old gets a high fever lasting 2-3 days about every other month. is this normal? there are no other symptoms with it

Accepted Answer

Can be: The average toddler is expected to get 5-7 respiratory illnesses/yr to age 5 and 1-3 diarrhea illnesses in the same time frame. To space it every other month would be pretty common. Some kids run fever with their illnesses as a sigh of a robust immune system, some seem to have the same illness & never show many symptoms. In a kid that's growing & developing well & don't worry about that pattern.
