2 y/o always gets high fevers?
Every time my 2 y/o has a temperature it invariably shoots through the roof. He has never had just a low grade fever - every single time his temperature is elevated, we have to jump in to full fever control with alternating ibuprofen/acetaminophen, temperature checks every 15 mins or so, cold baths, dr sick visits, etc. He has had (short) febrile seizures on two occasions because of how his temperature can spike. He does, however, seem to tolerate these temperatures well (often times there will not be any apparent indication of distress, even with temps as high as 104).
Is my kid the only one that does this?

Some children are just prone to them. Other times there's risk factors that have a lot to do with it. Such as premature babies and children are at a greater risk of having febrile seizures even with lower fevers. Children under the age of 15 months are at a greater risk and those who have a family history of them are of course at a higher risk.
If none of those sound like his situation then I might really consider having a complete physical done. To try and determine the cause for him. Of the seizures but also why he always has high fevers with everything.
