Can accidental pediatric exposure to a liquid mosquito repellent cause delayed-onset symptoms, specifically a transient fever followed by difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) several days post-ingestion?

Asked by Male, 32 · 7 days ago

Generally, liquid mosquito repellents, which typically contain ingredients like DEET or pyrethroids, cause immediate irritation or symptoms rather than delayed ones. A fever and difficulty swallowing that develop several days later are highly unlikely to be direct, delayed effects of the chemical exposure. Instead, these symptoms are much more typical of a common pediatric viral or bacterial throat infection that coincidentally developed around the same time. To ensure your child's safety and comfort, I highly recommend having a pediatrician evaluate them to find the exact cause of the fever and difficulty swallowing.
