What Causes Sudden Fever In A Child?

My one year old child was playing with a toy that was moldy inside, it was a plastic shopping cart, she started with a low grade fever the following day and now two days later has a fever of 102 degrees and is taking Tylenol. Could there be a connection?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think there is any connection between these two things, fever and mold exposure.
In my opinion, you should consult pediatrician and get done clinical examination and blood reports like CBC (complete blood count) to identify the source of infection.
He will need antibiotics.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
