Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have a 42 month old daughter with a temp of 35.1 She has had a cough for several weeks. I took her to a doctor this morning about the cough and the doctor said that her chest was clear. Should I be worried about her temperature? if anything she felt a little hot
Low temperature could indeed be a cause for concern. It could be indicative of sepsis due to infection. It could also occur due to low metabolism which could be a sign of hypothyroidism. I would suggest you to get the thyroid profile checked. Please visit a doctor with the reports and get her evaluated.
