A member asked:

My five year old has been complaining that her neck hurts and has fever of 103.2, what is wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fever: Fever and neck pain could be serious, especially if the child's neck is stiff. It can also be a less serious infection (ie: strep throat), but it's imperative that the child be examined.
