DD (18 months) has all of a sudden come out with red bruises under her eyes, one of them is worse than the other.
Yesterday she got a sudden onset fever accompanied by the chills (she was shivering). She has a low grade temp today and is a bit grouchy. I'm more worried about the bruising as it is something we have never dealt with before. Any suggestions? I Dr googled it but most pages dealt with allergies and she hasn't eaten anything new in the last 36 hours. ------------- http://www.thebump.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=UBB&utm_campaign=tickers"> |

If you are not sure I would just take her to the doctor, just in case! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'd just watch for any changes tomorrow and get a medical check if you're still worried then. I would have thought it had something to do with her colouring with the high temp and will settle soon. -------------  |

Allergic shiners are not usually redish. They are more blackish, like some ones really tired. Usually also very even on both eyes. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Thanks for that AandC, the bruising faded after a couple of days along with the temp etc. so I figured it was some weird short illness. Now she is back to her usual toddler antics. ------------- http://www.thebump.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=UBB&utm_campaign=tickers"> |
