WHY IS MY 20 MONTH OLD BOY SHAKING?

[MamaG]

His hands and arms seem to be trembling

Am rather worried

oops soz re caps

Is he OK in other ways? Is he cold or hot?

argh and a double post

He isn't cold

seems fine in himself
has been off hsi food latelyl (v unlike him) but has had a good breakfast and seems usual self

Take his temp, it could be rigours.

You need to call the doc though.

I will as soon as tehy open

what are rigours?

Rigours are the shivering you get with a temp I think. Hope he is ok.

Is he still shaking?

no temp

shaking on and off

very odd

jusgt hadns and arms i think

It could be something viral I think - that can have odd effects. I assume he's perfectly alert?
Try not to worry too much. You'll be able to get to the docs soon and if he doesn't have a temp that's one good thing.

Hi

It stopped completely by 9am but we went anyway to see gp

he said it might be becasue he hasn't been eating much lately (he's a big boy) or that there might be an infection brewing.

Said I did right thing to bring him, ot keep a close eye and to come back if it continues
