Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Normal To Get Fever On/off To A 14 Month Old?
My 14 month old daughter has had a on/off high temperature for the last few days. Her temp is about 37.2degC however she keeps waking up and her legs shake. We have been giving her calpol and removed some clothing. Is there anything else to do until we take her to the doctor in the morning?
Hi...you did the right thing. Shaking of legs during fever could due to variance in the ambient temperature as compared to the body. If she's otherwise active when there's no fevee, you need not worry.
By what you quote this looks like a viral illness. Once it starts it may last for 3-5 days. Don't worry.
If fever goes up again very fast you can do some cold sponging.
