Suggest Treatment For High Fever In A Child
My son recently started daycare and has gotten sick. He is 4 years old. Last night his fever was 102.9. I've been giving him Motrin and he has a cold also, and trouble breathing, especially at night when he is quite loud and coughs a lot. I just took his temperature again, and it was 96.7. He is also really cold to the touch. That seems low to me......should I take him to the hospital?
Thank you, Lauren

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child.
By what you quote it seems that your child probably has got wheezing episode.
Due to wheezing episode he has difficulty in breathing at night.
Since, temperature is also low, you should take the child to emergency and get the child examined.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
Regards
