Can scorpion sting cause continuous high fever?
Patient: my daughter was stung by a scoprion last week. She has started running a high fever for the last 3 days (unto 104.4).  MD said ears, throat, lungs, urine all were ok.  No other symptoms.  CBC was done, but results not back.  Could this be from the scoprion sting? Doctor: Hi.... I do not think that Scorpion sting can cause fever after one week. This could be an unrelated illness and most probably a viral illness. If the kid is well when the fever is down, you need not worried about this. I  suggest you give Paracetamol in the appropriate those after checking temperature every four hourly once and that too only if the fever is about hundred degrees Fahrenheit.In scorpion sting rather than fever, heart rate and palpitations and profuse sweating are more significant symptoms. If these appear we need to be really concerned regarding scorpion sting.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
