My son is 5 and he went threw this during Christmas week... It is a Stomach Flu and most likely the FLU if he is cough and sneezing and runny nose too... I know it is scary with the fever so high... but just try to give him Motrin and alternate with Tylenol... That is what my doctor said... And try to keep him Hydrated. And don't give him immodium... it needs to leave his system... WASH YOUR HANDS ALOT! It will be over soon!

This happens to us all the time. The fever comes and goes. It's probably a bug.

I would take the child to the doctor. My son had the same symptoms a few months back. He was fine during the day, then would get a high fever at night. After the third night (we were in the Georgia Mountains on vacation !) I took him to the local doctor where they proceeded to tell me that he had an ear infection. I decided to go with the anti-biotics as high fevers frighten me. Good luck, L.

Happened to mine a few weeks back, he just turned 2. He was getting his molars in and got a bit of an ear infection. It was only at night...I'd take him to the dr. probably need antibiotics.
