My DD3 who is 12 months has had 3 infections that have been bacterial and never had more than a very slight rise in temp to say 37.6.
When she was 10 days old she had a UTI but no temp, we were kept in and she had IV antibiotics and never had a low temp either, they knew she had an infection as it grew on a culture, (They thought she had sepsis so had every test under the sun and was on AB straight away).
She has had Pneumonia with very mild 37.3 temp and now a throat infection with loads of puss but little to no temperature.
She has had viral colds and things in between and never had a temp with these either and all three infections were diagnosed by different drs so I doubt its a covering in case of an infection.
Just wondered if anyone had a child like this?
I asked the very nice GP today and he said that high temps were more likely viral and it was quite common with bacterial infections to have no temp, I have never heard this before and believed the opposite to be correct. (But he is a great GP and has a very good reputation).
