48 answers  My Son Has a Fever with No Other Symptoms.  Hello
all - My 5 year old son is running a low fever with no other
real symptoms. Yesterday I picked him up from preschool and
noticed nothing unusual. He came home, had a snack, went outside
for a little while....then started getting tired pretty early
and ended up falling asleep at around 6:30 pm. He woke up about
four times over the course of the night, screaming/crying that
he was afraid of the shadows on the ceiling. He was hot and
sweaty each time that I went to him, but I assumed he had just
worked himself into a frenzy over the shadows thing (plus the
blanket was a bit much for last night).  This morning, he still
felt pretty hot, and didn't want to eat. By the time I took his
temp, it was at 101.7. I know that's not very high, but my son
is NEVER sick, so I worry ten times more when he *does* get
sick. Plus with no other symptoms I don't know what it could be.
I gave him a little Tylenol and it's responding to that. He
still doesn't want to eat,
