Dr. Trapper gave Caleb a hug and he felt very hot. A quick check with the thermometer demonstrated he was running a fever of 101.8°F. Caleb didn’t show any other obvious symptoms. While somewhat concerned, Dr. Trapper was not overly worried as Caleb had been a very healthy child and received all his vaccinations. While we usually think of fever as a bad thing, a fever is actually signifying that an immune response is progressing!
A few months ago Dr. Trapper’s, 4-year-old son, Caleb, woke him up at 3:00 am, complaining that he didn’t feel good. Caleb said his head and ears hurt, and he and his bed were “all wiggly.” He had a runny nose the past few days, but the Trappers had thought nothing of it. Dr. Trapper took Caleb into the bathroom and noticed he looked flushed and his glands appeared swollen compared to normal (see picture).
