Hello! I think that my 17 month old had heat exhaustion today...he vomited this morning around 11am, afterwards we checked his temp. he ended up having a 102 fever. we took cold compresses and lowered his temp and monitored him. we think maybe it was a combination of heat exhaustion and motion sickness from traveling in the car. he seemed fine after about 1-1/2 hour nap. later on he started getting hot again. he s sleeping now in my husband s lap, but his hands feel cold to the touch (he s been covered up with a blanket too). what do you think is wrong with him?

I WILL TELL YOU THE DANGER SIGNS OF THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO - 1. IF THE KID IS NOT PASSING ADEQUATE URINE2. IF THE KID IS DULL AND LETHARGIC EVEN AFTER THE FEVER COMES DOWN TO NORMAL.3.
