can an allergy cause a temperature/fever?

[cheeryface]

if a child was allergic to something could it show as a headache and a raised temp???

thanx

anyone ?

A headache, yes definitely. Temperature - I don't think so - tbh that would say infection to me.

o.k thanks

yes temperature used to raise in my ds's reactions x

what other signs were there bekkaboo?

thing is i bought some guinea pigs, they are housed outside but he has been near the hutch quite a bit. he has an allergy to dogs and grass pollen that i know of.

since then he has had a raised temp and last night a headache.

i am really hoping its just a coincidence and nothing to do with he guineas as we are all really chuffed with them.

sneezing, blisters on eyes, wheezing? anything like that? it may just be a coincidence but guess if allergies to other pets then may well be allergic to them. Has he been near them today?

he has been near the hutch, hasn't actually touched them.
he has no rash or sore eyes or anything.

when he goes near dogs he gets hives.

he's still on his hayfever medicine , but, when its peak season it only helps slightly so i know he could still have allergy symptoms while taking it.
