I'm really just wanting to see how normal this is, or if I should be concerned. Doctors we have seen don't seem to be concerned about it.
In the last 14 months my 4 Yr old DS has woken in the night five different times and come into me - I've noticed his whole body is cold, so then checked his temp to find it was either around 35c or below it. I think the lowest was 34.3c. The first time I bought a new thermometer (I bought one to use in his ear), and those first three times it happened I took him to a&e but he was OK after he had been there a while and we went home. The last two times I've kept him at home and warmed him up, which can take a while.
It is not happening because of a cold room. It happened again last night, well, he was 35.1, and the room was warm.
The only other things of note regarding his health are: he had mild pulmonary stenosis as a baby, but was discharged with it (I've since read he should never have been discharged); and, he has struggled with tiredness when at nursery and in p1. He definitely doesn't have the same energy that a lot of other children his age have. I had to keep him off school in autumn due to him being completely exhausted. He wouldn't waken in the morning even when he had gone to bed early, he would still be in a deep sleep, and look pale.
He's had bloods checked for tiredness and seen paeds but they haven't come up with anything - I've asked for him to be rereferred to cardiology.
I'm really just wondering about the low temps because it happened again last night, is this common? Or should I be concerned about it?
UABU: it is common
UANBU: it's very abnormal
