Answer 1

If it happens...: ...A few times a year (up to once a month) these are probably unrelated different infections - viral, strep, or ear infections; fever and vomiting are both nonspecific responses to any infectious process in children. If each episode is longer than a few days, or more frequent than 12 a year, ask your doctor to investigate further.

Answer 2

Migraine phenomena: Migraine without headache can cause this combination. Discuss this with your doctor and review family history for members with history of migraine. Recurrent vomiting is often called abdominal migraine. Autonomic manifestations with fever, can also represent migraine without without headache.

Answer 3

Infection: By far the most common reason for fever in infants and toddlers are infections, with viral infections being the most common type of infection. The infection triggers the immune system to respond with chemicals that effect an area of the brain with controls temperature.

Answer 4

Infection: A fever, (a temperature of 100.4 or highter) is a sign that your baby's body is fighting an infection. Call your doctor right away if your baby is 8 weeks or younger and has a fever. Sometimes vaccinations can cause mild fever.

Answer 5

Immune response: Fever is a response to infection. My simplistic explanation is that the immune system raises the thermostat to cook the germ out of the body.Many times the infection (viral or bacterial) will burn itself out after a few days. The immune system is pretty amazing. If the fever persists or continues to rise, see a pediatrician to make sure infection has not progressed to needing intervention.

Answer 6

Reaction with germs: Infants' and toddlers' fevers are often from infections. Germs such as viruses and bacteria interact with a child's immune system . . . Resulting in fever. Fevers may also occur from non-infection types of illnesses, but these illnesses are uncommon. A doctor can help decide the cause of a fever.

Answer 7

To Kill Germs: Fever is your body's way of killing germs. It is a natural and important response to infection. Check out http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=q83hamgyc6c and http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=zkoevqtnkis.

Answer 8

Infection: Infants and toddlers usually get fevers due to their bodies response to an infection (usually viral or bacterial). Substances are secreted by your body when fighting an infection that changes the thermostat in your brain (hypothalamus) to increase the temperature of the body. The fever is helpful for the body to fight infection.

Answer 9

Why the fever?: Depends what the fever is from. Most common infections that cause fevers do not hurt your baby. There are some, though, that can - rubella, for example.

Answer 10

Depends on situation: Illnesses that you have that are localized like a cold or ear infection have no effect on baby. If you have an illness with a blood phase, where the germ gets into the blood, like the flu or measles, the baby can be affected. Best check it out with your doctor to be sure.

Answer 11

Get tested: There are many possible causes of unexplained fever ranging from infection, autoimmune diseases, even certain cancers. Please get tested by a doctor soon.

Answer 12

Depends on where/how: If you have a trusted site to use for this procedure & they use proper aseptic technique it is fine @ 4months.

Answer 13

Normal!: It is not uncommon in some children. If the stool is formed , child is growing i would not worry about it. It is often from green leafy vegetables, coloring agents in the food or simply due to rapid transit from small intestine to large intestine where it normally is tuned brown.

Answer 14

Normal: The stool color is provided by the bile from the liver that is adds to fecal debris.It starts out a deep green & slowly changes thru greens to yellows to browns as the germs in the intestines metabolize the bile.Green generally means the stool in question moved through faster or was subject to less change by gut germs.
