What Cause High Fever In A 3 Year Old?
Hi! Our 2yr 3mo old boy has had a temp of ~103 for 24hrs. Tylenol takes it down to ~102. Dark green poop. A wet sounding chest cough and he mostly cries and complains about his throat. He is super hungry. Cherios and milk seems all he wants. His dr. wants us to wait a couple of days. Should we bring him in so they can at least look down his throat? Or is waiting okay? He is so sad, and too uncomfortable to sleep for any long period of time. Thanks! -Jeff
