Fever- see doc?: A fever is not normal. But could be serious. When to see a doctor when your child has a fever? Depends on the age and how the child is doing: http://www.parenting.com/health-guide/fever/when-call-doctor

Temperature change: 35.2 is low for anyone . would recheck. When individuals have fever, it usually does go up and down , but would recheck as 35.2 is low make sure child is arousable ,alert ,acting normal if lethargic go to ER, as low temperature can be associated with sepsis. if on recheck still 35.2 ( or < 36.5) go to ER. f/u/ w/ doc
