I sent home 16 mo dcb yesterday b/c he developed a sustained fever of 100.3 (my policy is anything over 100 is excludable from daycare for 24 hrs regardless of the cause). I told dcm I had not noticed any other symptoms, but I had noticed he was straining to have a BM and then crying after.
I texted dcm today to see how he was doing, and she said the fever had not returned after last night; but he was very tired and constipated so she is giving him prune juice. She thinks the fever was caused by the constipation. This is the first I have heard of constipation causing fever, so I thought I would ask if any of you had seen this combination before?
