Can you have a fever with allergies?!
Question:
Can you have a fever with allergies?
My 13 month old son has had some seasonal allergies. ( we live in kansas and between the wheat dust and rain everyone seems to have them) Anyway, yesterday he woke up and his eye was a little matted and today his nose is running and now has a low grade fever. He is not pulling or tugging on his ears, so I don't think they are an issue. Does a fever occur with allergies? We have been in the pool quite a bit, so wondering if perhaps just a cold.

forgot to mention that he is sneezing alot and his drainage is clear.
Answers:
You can get flushed and warm with allergies but you generally do not get a fever. I would have this checked out by a doctor to confirm whether your son has an infection, allergy, or the dust is just irritating him. The treatments would be different depending on cause.
