What Causes High Fever In A Toddler?
Hi my 3yr old son developed high temperatures on Saturday night about 39 deg, responds to paracetamol and I am able to get some fluids and a small amount of food into him. He vomited this morning early but not since. He seems otherwise happy but a bit lethargic. His eyes seem very glassy and bloodshot also. His temperature has climbed again up to 39.2 just now and I ve given him some more Panadol. I was wondering if it was normal for his eyes to be so bloodshot along with temperatures as neither of my children really have experienced that before with fevers

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, your toddler seems to have gastrointestinal infection most likely as there is high grade fever with vomiting and laziness. I would recommend an immediate consultation with his pediatrician for attention and management.
