What Causes Fever In A Child?
hi i have a question for my daughter she got hot last night we checked her she had around a 100.5 to 101 fever but no prior symptoms before going to sleep. i checked her again 5 minutes later after we stripped her cloths off of her and she was down to 98.8 is it safe to say she was just hot? or feverish?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
Since the temperature of the child became controlled with physical measures and no drugs and since there were no associated symptoms, i will suggest you just observe.If temprature rises again, you see the Doctor for examination.I feel the child was just hot due to maybe many dreeses on.Just observe the baby keenly.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
