So, I know a few of you out there are Doctors; for the record I have already called my son's Pediatrician and her advice was to keep an eye on it but it didn't sound like anything serious.
Okay, here goes.
My son is 8 months old (and cute as heck to boot) and he's just cut his first tooth over the weekend. He's been pretty good natured about it and generally he's a pretty good natured kid.
He eats well, sleeps well and acts well in all respects.
Recently he's started doing this odd thing though where he gets a shiver through his body (the kind where they say someone just "walked over your grave" not the cold kind). Sunday we were out for breakfast and feeding him and he would get one every few minutes. We haven't checked his tempurature at these times (we were in a resturant at the time) but if we see it again we will. The yogurt we were feeding him was a little cold and my speculation was that his new tooth my be sensitive to the cold. No telling though; the thing is while I haven't seen him do it as much as he did Sunday morning (the tooth showed up on Saturday by the way) he still does it here and there. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Like I said, the Dr. said keep an eye on it and I'll likely call her again and prompt a look at him in person. I've got a friend who has a 4 or 5 year old who has this happen to him whenever he drinks a cold soda (calls it the shakey shakey dance).
I hope I'm just being paranoid but I wanted to run it past the Dr on the board just for an unofficial and non binding second not even real opinion.
Thanks
Here his is:
