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 To Be Concern About Child Having Runny Nose, Fever And Bug Bite?
My 16 month old son started out with some diahorrea which is gone but has mild running nose, low grade fever (about 100 - under armpit) and a bug bite for the last 2 days. Tylenol is helping. but there is a lot of fussiness and reduced appetite. Should I watch for another couple of days or see the doctor?
Hello. I just read through your question. I do not believe the bug bite is related to the other symptoms. This bite will ultimately resolve on it's own and is of little concern. The congestion can be controlled with saline nose drops and bulb suction. However, if the irritability persists for another 1-2 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
