My son is 20 months old, and he's the wear only a diaper around the house kinda kid. He was sitting in my lap a little bit ago and his head, middle of his back all along his spine and the heals of his feet were hot, But his cheeks, arms, legs and sides aren't. The house temp is almost 80. I'm so worried he's going to get sick, that maybe I'm making to much out of it. He's teething, but he's still not actting 100% like himself. Any advice??
Thank you, I put a call into the doc's office and got a nurse to call back. I'm taking Rowan in tomorrow morning to have a look over to make sure. He hasn't had any shots in acouple months, and he was laying all over me to soak up the coolness of my legs. Once he heated up one part, he would lay on another part of me that was still cool. I might go ahead and have some blood work done, just to make sure.
I'm trying to figure out what you are worried about. Did you take his temperature with a thermometer and if so, what is the temperature? Feeling you son with your own body is not a way to determine "fever." Please use a thermometer and check back with us...
Could it be a vaccine reaction?
Dear N.,
Please contact Pediatrics.com, a Dr will advise you.

HI N.,
It may be nothing but it sounds like a circulatory issue. Find a doctor or ND that looks at live blood work. Most MDs don't do it anymore but it reveals a lot about what is going on in the body. My doctor did it when I was a kid and I go to an ND that does it for our family regularly.(I get it done when I go to Atlanta.) This country has so many more issues with blood issues now than we did before because of the preservatives and additives in the foods that we eat.
It usually cost about $25-$35 with a 15 or 30 minute visit...
God bless!

Was he leaning against you? I freaked out once because I thought my son had a fever yet realized that my body heat made him heat up as well.
Good luck!
