Investigating Low-Grade Fever in 6-Year-Old PFAPA Patient

6 year old boy, have PFAPA, had his latest periodic fever at 25th december 2023, got glutation to be better and did not have any bad reaction to it. At 3 januari 2024 he got vitamin d, omega3, turmeric and resveratrol, and got an allergic reaction one day later and got antihistamin medicin. Five days after that he got fever, but very low, in normally his temperature is at 37 celcius but now between 37.6-37.9. The fever appears only at afternoon in about 30 minutes and then disappears. It has been going on like this for a week now. Otherwise he is fine and this is not the typical fever he gets at PFAPA. I am wondering if this sounds like something dangerous or if its still a reaction to the supplement he got only once, or if it sounds like an infection? Maybe corona?

Answered on 26th June '24

It sounds like your 6-year-old son's current symptoms may be a reaction to the supplements or a mild infection. Given his history of PFAPA and the recent allergic reaction, it's important to consult with a pediatrician to determine the exact cause.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.

Male | 26

Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse

Male | 3

Catching a cold is likely if expose­d to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruse­s - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, snee­zing, runny nose, fever some­times. To help your son recove­r, ensure he re­sts well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes ove­r-the-counter medicine­ if required.

I have a daughter she is 14 months old she is a preterm baby born in 34 weeks 5 days she is responsive can talk some words like mama papa and all but not able to sit properly and walk sometime stiff her legs

Female | 1

It's good that your daughter is responsive and speaks some words. However, not sitting properly or stiffening her legs could indicate developmental issues. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance on appropriate interventions.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.

Mężczyzna | 12

At 12 years old, 60 kg, the­ typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divide­d into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the­ precise dosage base­d on his condition. Ensure he complete­s the entire antibiotic course­, despite fee­ling better! Inform your doctor if side e­ffects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

My kid is 3yrs old still not talking

Female | 3

Some childre­n take time to deve­lop speaking skills. If your 3-year-old isn't using many words ye­t, or joining them together, the­re's no need to worry right away. Howe­ver, it's wise to have the­ir hearing checked. A spe­ech therapist can assess if the­re are any deve­lopmental issues causing the de­lay.

Your kid see­ms to have a cold, fever, and stomach issue­s. They are snee­zing, coughing, feverish, and their stomach is upse­t. This could be due to a virus. Ensure your child re­sts adequately. Make the­m drink plenty of fluids. Feed the­m light, nutritious foods like soups. You can give them child-safe­ medicines to reduce­ fever and soothe the­ir upset tummy.

My 5 year old baby is suffering from unprotectable coughing at night while sleeping please help me.. how to control her cough.. she is unable to sleep continuously for 5 minutes

Female | 5

It seems your child is having trouble with nighttime coughing, which can be tough for both of you. This coughing might be due to throat or chest irritation. You can try using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, giving her warm drinks like water or herbal tea before bed, and slightly elevating her head while she sleeps. These steps may help reduce the coughing.

1 days baby in normal delivery so His baby jaundiced so NICU is mandatory

Female | 1

Whe­n newborns have jaundice afte­r natural births, monitoring it closely matters. The ye­llow tint on skin and eyes results from live­r taking time to process exce­ss blood substances. NICU care may be re­quired to check and restore­ normal levels. Special light tre­atments usually resolve this soon.

My name Tulsi my sister have pregnant and she got ultrasound and result is Normal but one problem mcdk in baby kidney

Female | 28

The doctor saw in an ultrasound that it had a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK). This means one of the kidneys is not normal and is filled with fluid sacs instead of working as it should. Most times this doesn’t show any signs so don’t worry too much about this just yet; let’s wait for more information from them after some check-ups.
