My 7 year old has a fever since Saturday and it s been off and on. He also had diarrhea and vomitting but this morning his fever was gone and so was his diarrhea. But just an hour ago his fever came back and he also broke out into a rash. Should I be worried? Can fever cause him to be delusional during sleep?
Hi.... I understand your concern. Fever even if it is very high and if in between 2 fever episodes, the child being normal will not worry me. But fever with rash is always a matter of concern this could be a simple viral exanthem or hemorrhagic fever. I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician or the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible. Coming to the delusionalbehaviour, it is quite common in kids during high fever. Regards -
