My 7yo daughter woke up laughing with the hicups. I asked her to tell me what was so funny. She appeared to still be sleeping (like sleep walking) but not walking around. I noticed she felt warm. She had a fever of 103. I gave her motrin and the fever was down to 102 within the hour. The laughing scared me. I woke her to take the temp again and she began laughing. What is this?
Hi...what your daughter is experiencing is called febrile delirium. This is quite common in child Chat Doctor.  Nothing to worry. They will become completely normal once the temperature comes done to normal and there is a good possibility that this phenomenon can recur too, whenever the temperature is high. But if you are worried I suggest you consult your daughters' pediatrician. Regards -
