question: Hi there, my 5 year old son (who is normally a very warm and excessively sweaty sleeper) has this evening come out in a rash on his legs (following two weeks of cold/flu symptoms and a course of penicillin). I checked on him an hour ago to his normally sweatiness, however, he was freezing cold (it has been a warm day here in Melbourne, Australia) and the thermometer (ear) took a reading of 33.5c (which I took 3 times, however, seems inaccurate to me). As a mother I have experienced high (hot) fevers, however, is it normal for a child to be so cold (in a warm, healthy environment)?
