[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is the right place for this question, or the Health Forum.  DC (age 9) seems to have transient fevers that may be stress-related rather than illness.  He's just been sent home from school with a fever and won't be allowed back to school until Friday, but his fever is already gone at home and he feels fine.  He has some health issues, allergies, chronic histamine issues, low carnitine, and ADHD.  Is there a type of POTS that includes transient fevers?  Or some other explanation?

During the height of the pandemic, he was refused admission a few times because of an elevated forehead temperature, but eventually places would allow a retake a few minutes later and he would be fine then.  We've noticed a transient temperature at home occasionally, usually on the weekend, and he has come home twice with a short-lived-but-measurable fever at school this year.

Maybe he's chronically ill but I have the feeling that his body thermostat is dysregulated (like the rest of him).  But medically, I don't know how that would be possible.  This seems like a minor issue and I'm not sure what I would say if I brought him to the pediatrician, or a specialist.  But now he's missing school again.  Can anyone give me some advice?  [/quote]
