Question 1

what can cause chronic low grade fever? mine has been between 99 - 99.5 for several days, covid test negative?

: It may just be a reflection of the environment rather than anything to be concerned about. It is not actually a temperature range to worry about and I wonder why you measure your temperature if you ordinarily feel well. If you do not have other symptoms it probably not something to worry about.

dr. thinks dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) may be causing fast pulse (90-100 bpm) but could malabsorption be to blame? i  have chronic low grade fever, staetorrhea, hist of low vit d. not eager to quit an effective med...

Accepted Answer

Need to test: Fast pulse can come from many causes.  The first thing to do is rule out medication side effect.  To do that, i'd suggest stopping the Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) for 1 week ; recheck the pulse rate.  If it's the same, then you could resume the medicine without worrying that it was the cause.  In that case you'd need a work up to determine the true cause.  My expertise is in oriental medicine, which could help.

Question 9

Different infections: Viral infection is  often the cause but there is also a possibility of bacterial infection, e.g., urinary tract infection.  The infant has to be seen by primary care doctor.

Question 10

what can cause a low grade fever every 7 to 10 days?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: What's low grade? Recurring fever is usually a sign of a significant problem, especially if you have other symptoms or problems. Some infections such as malaria can do this, relapsing mediterranean fever (rare). Some inflammatory condition even like rheumatoid arthritis can do it. Some cancers like lymphoma come to mind. If you feel fine, some people just have higher 'normal" temperatures.
