Re: Cyclical spiking fevers for toddlers

[Guest guest]

Why not do some food allergy testing. Yes, a food allergy reaction can come

with a fever, I've never seen that high. Try Benadryl when it happens next time

if see if helps. When we were trying to figure out my guy if sick or an

allergic reaction to something, a Benadryl dose if it helped, tipped me off.

Sorry, no other ideas.

Cyclical spiking fevers for toddlers

Hi. Has anyone had experience with their toddler getting cyclical spiking

fevers? My DS has been having this problem for quite a while now and we think it

is due to food sensitivity of some kind but don't know. They'll go as high as

105 and don't respond much to fever meds and many times have had to go to the

ER. DS seems to have phenol issues, maybe salicylates, so he's on the Feingold

program and also dairy and gluten free. Still having issues though. Any ideas

would help. Is the fevers thing related to yeast, bacteria....anything else I

don't realize? Thanks

Someone on another group said it could be viral when I asked the same question

for a friend. You could have blood drawn for viral titers and maybe strep. HTH.

I would first consider latent virus issues.

Is the cycle specific, for example does it correlate to the full moon? That

would be a sign of parasites.

This is a post from Willis's list that might be related.

Calcium, Irritability and Convulsions

Convulsions in infants and small children occur when plasma calcium (ionic form,

calcium lactate) is decreased by 50 percent. Evidence is irritability and

twitching, leading to convulsions and a trip to the emergency room where a

sedating drug is given—instead of ionizable calcium which is required to correct

the condition.

Growing children need calcium lactate constantly to offset the excess phosphoric

acid in cereal foods in order to promote bone building and muscle function. Low

calcium bicarbonate in children results in excessive nervous energy—the type of

child that cannot sit still. Acute deficiency of calcium bicarbonate results in

fever and convulsions.
