Increase in temperature with stomatitis: is it normal?
Children of different age groups are susceptible to certain types of stomatitis. The ailment is of three types depending on the nature of the onset:
- candida;
- herpetic;
- aphthous.
Candidial stomatitis affects children of younger preschool age. The disease can flow easily, in the absence of temperature, but the disease still needs to be treated. The simplified form of stomatitis is characterized by the following symptoms:
- by the absence or slight increase in temperature( up to 37.5 degrees);
- weakness, minor malaise.
The acute form of the ailment is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- by raising the temperature to 39 degrees;
- significant increase in lymph nodes;
- body aches, loss of strength, headache, irritability.
For herpetic stomatitis is characterized by frequent and significant increase in temperature due to intoxication of the child's body with antibodies. In severe cases, the baby may become conscious, the temperature at the same time reaches 40 degrees and lasts a very long time.
Additional symptoms of herpetic form of the disease:
- appearance of chills, weakness;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- appearance on mucous membranes with fluid, which later turn into sores and ulcers;
- headache;
- gum bleeding, especially at the height of the disease.
Severe form of the disease is dangerous because the temperature gets lost badly. The child needs help from a doctor.
Aphthous stomatitis proceeds relatively easily, the temperature can rise to 37 degrees, in the midst of the disease to 39 degrees.
Aftoznaya form is easier to treat than herpetic. Hyperthermia is reduced by usual antipyretic agents. The cause of this form of the disease lies in the effects of allergens or bacteria on the baby's body. Sometimes aphthous stomatitis is not accompanied by fever, the symptoms of the disease are poorly expressed.
How long does the heat last?
A sign of triggering stomatitis, when the infection penetrated deep into the body, is a rise in temperature. Usually this is observed on day 2-3 after the onset of the disease.
The inflammatory process spreads to the lymph nodes. The temperature rests at around 37-37.3 degrees. In a day or two, it rises to 38.5-39 degrees.
The temperature response to infection and its duration depends on several factors:
- the ability of the child's body to resist infection;
- severity and form of the disease.
The temperature in herpetic stomatitis in severe form lasts up to two and a half weeks, while with a slight aphthous form of the disease, the temperature reaction in the child lasts for 7-10 days. Prolonged hyperthermia may indicate that a bacterial infection has entered the body.
