I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who's been having a fever around 101 that keeps coming back every 8 hours. It's been going on for 5 days now, but there aren't any other symptoms like a cough, sneezing, or a rash. I tried giving Ibuprofen, and it seems to help, but I'm just not sure if I should be doing something else. Could you give me some advice?

A heart rate of 140 at rest and 190-202 during stress is concerning.
This could indicate:
- Tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate)
- Anxiety or stress-related issues
- Underlying heart conditions (e.g., arrhythmias)
Consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation.
Treatment may involve medications (e.g., beta blockers) or lifestyle changes.
Regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial to prevent potential complications.

View allI have a 14-month-old daughter, and since yesterday her palms and feet have been really warm. Her temperature was 102.3, but now it's around 100. She's only got two teeth so far and her gums seem sore. Could this be because of teething? What do you think?
It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

What is in the MMR?
MMR vaccines contain live measles, mumps and rubella viruses that have been weakened (attenuated). These stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies for protection but do not cause disease in healthy people. Usual dosing in children is two doses - first at 9 to 12 months and second at 16 to 24 months of age.

I'm a bit concerned about my daughter who's 3.5 months old. She recently got the pentavac vaccination and I've noticed some swelling and a lump forming at the injection site. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it a common reaction?
After pentavac vaccination, it is common for infants to experience swelling and lump formation at the injection site. This is a normal reaction to the vaccine. You can give her a dose of acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) as per the recommended dosage for her age to help with any discomfort. If the swelling or lump persists or worsens, please consult with your pediatrician.
