What Causes Fever At Night To A 2.5 Year Old?

Hello,

I have a 2.5 year old daughter who has been suffering from fevers only at nighttime of 99-101 degrees for the past 3 days. Doctor suggested a blood test and it came back as normal WBCs with relative neutrophilia. I am worried until I go see the doctor again. Any suggestions as to what the above means.

Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. If your kid is normal in between fever episodes in a single day...I don't think you should worry as its only 3rd day of fever. Danger signs include breathlessness/ rash/ low urine output/ seizures/ unconsciousness/ blood in motion. Don't worry if these are not there & the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
