Another Fever

[Nikki2003]

It has been 2 months tomorrow since nicole has had a fever. Tonite she started one again. She has been gluten free since july 22,2006. Why would she have another fever? I posted this already but my post never showed up.

She is seeing the GI nurse tomorrow for her visit anyway,So I guess it is good timing for it.

we'll see.

Don't panick yet. As parents of children with Celiac we are always looking to see how the Celiac has caused the present symptom. Maybe she is just sick with a virus or something. My son had D this afternoon, I spent the day stressing over why he has it. Maybe he has a stomach thing. See what the GI says. Good Luck.

This is confusing me. Because when she started with the fever it came on tuesday night,Then was gone by 10am wednesday am. Didn't get higher than 101.6. Then got it back thursday night but again no higher than 101 then went away by friday am. Now starting this am it is back.But only this time her face is broken out slightly and her chest and back. She is about 101 now. What does this on and on? She usually has fevers but not that go off and on for 3-4 days.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

Maybe completely off, but my sons and my sisters kids have been swaping viruses all summer. Whatever virus they had last, the fever was coming and going as well. And then one day it would be down to 99 and we thought, great it is over, and the next morning 103 again. They all went to the doc, told it was just viral and to ride it out. But with 3 of the five kids they ended up with an ear infection at the tail end of being sick.

It is weird because it looks like the viral rash but all over her cheeks on her ears down her front and back and even on her but cheeks (not a diaper rash).

Any sores in her mouth or throat? There are over 20 strands of the Coxsacki (sp ?) virus. My oldest son had it once and had a rash all over. Not just on the hands and feet as is most commonly identified with coxsacki. High lingering fever is very common with it also. I believe sometimes it is just rash and fever with no sores. Very contagious too, as easy as the kid who was in the shopping cart before you got some saliva on the handle who happened to be getting sick, and your kid has it too. Just another idea. Sorry if I am of no help.

No sores in her mouth. Her cheeks are still broken out. And get more red and broken out looking in the sun. Got the fever back again yesterday 102.3. This am 99.7

Lost more weight also. It has been 6 days since this on off fever started. It it goes back up again then I will call her ped and see what he thinks.

Thanks for the help,She has had coxsackie before but only had blisters in her throat and no where else.

But her appetite hasn't changed.

We'll see.

Thanks
