Sub Cutaneous Fever 

Hot inside yet not outside 

[Seoras]

 Hi Wiggy and Esdel,well sat here wrapped up and sneezing I am thinking it stands for sodding cold .Wiggy I am am glad to hear that your nursing skills don't go back that far or you would surely be in the Guiness Book of Records ,then again I would know what the fever was .
 I have done a bit of research and found that much of what he had was common among the soldiers in India,hepetitus,abcesses,ague(I now know to be a form of malaria),varicose veins from all the marching,a couple of bouts of what I have seen referred to elsewhere as the soldiers favourite,one I have yet to decipher and the S.C. mentioned on this thread.
 It's said that more soldiers died in the Crimean Wars from disease than battle and reading my GG uncle's records I can well believe it.

Subcutaneous Crepitation - look it up in the medical sites on google and you have a choice
with fever
without fever

Why not call a cough a cough?
Must be because coughing can be a symptom of many (some deadly) things (so can hiccoughing)

[esdel]

for example

Crepitation, subcutaneous [Subcutaneous crepitus, subcutaneous emphysema]
 

[esdel]

seems to mean, as docs are wont to say (= will say):

Any grinding  or rustling noise from within

as broken bone-ends rubbing
as breathing (lung infections)

the fever is the patient's immune system fighting invasive infection (bugs die sooner than us in some cases!)

I am going (partial) with Colin, by suggesting 'slight climatic fever'. The returns of ship's surgeons on the NA website record cases of 'climatic fever'. If it was scarlet fever would they not keep him in isolation?

Can anyone read the treatment given?

Can anyone read the treatment given?

Difficult to make out, but whether it is because I know what you should do, I can see  ?sponge. Maybe tepid sponge

[Redroger]

Though the treatment seems to begin with a T, or possibly an F there is just no way even under magnification that I can read that as sponge. Sorry, at a total loss.

Hi Redroger and all who have replied so far.I have just found someone on another site with an ancestor in similar predicaments and he has written in a record, simple con fev and also S.C. fever,seems to me they could be the same thing,now what is con.
