What Causes Low Temperature In A Baby? Suggest Medication
hi, my toddler has a temp of 35.1 and he hasn t slept much the last couple days. last night he kept waking up screaming and was very unhappy. he also has not had many wet nappies although he has been drinking...what could this possibly indicate and should i call a doctor out to see him tonight?

Hi...whatever you are quoting is hypothermia. It needs medical attention. Another issue is that the baby is drinking lots of water which suggests that he might be losing intravascular volume which is a sign of shock. I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible.
