Will start by saying that I do have health anxiety, anyone who has seen my previous posts will know that. It's come from the DC being poorly soo much over the last couple of years.
I've tried googling about this and nothing comes up so I thought I would try asking some wise mumsnetters instead!
DS is 3, has been at nursery all week. On Wednesday night he started asking to go to the toilet for a poop constantly but couldn't go. Checked on him in the night and he had done a tiny one in his pants. Kept saying for the next couple of days that he needed to go to the toilet but couldn't do more than a tiny bit each time. Then last night he started getting a fever. He feels really hot tonight and is saying his tummy hurts. He hasn't eaten much since last night, despite us offering him lots of his favourite things.
Over the week he has eaten quite a lot of high fibre food as I wanted to try and help him go but it hasn't seemed to help. So now he is basically constipated, says his tummy hurts and has a high fever.
Can constipation cause a fever?
