In the early hours of the morning my 3 yr old son woke up shivering and had goose pimples all over, despite it being quite warm, I cuddled him and wrapped blankets around him but he was hsaking and his jaw was rattling for a good ten minutes, I was getting very worried, then he finally seemed to warm up and I realised he was on fire temperature wise so I gave him some cold water and we went back to sleep.
This morning he seemed normal again.
Only one difference is he had a very odd and BAD smelling poo!

I'm really confused, we just finished a course of antibiotics for a bug in the intestines if that could be related.

the bug in his system working its way throu, the shivering but being hot is a body reaction to high temp and helps it to cool down, called a rigor. thta's waht it sounds like anyway, as long as he' is okay now. and you haven't had any more smelly poos!
