Question 1

for 6 years, my 9 year old child has gotten headaches with  fever every 4 weeks, often with vomiting. blood tests at the time of headache show nothing?

Accepted Answer

Needs check up: headaches with vomiting happening repeatedly could be a sign of migraine
but above all it needs intracranial evaluation
if fever is high you should get his sinuses checked sooner rather than later

Question 2

my four year old has had a fever every afternoon for the past 5 days--what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Define fever: The normal variation in temperature follows a predictable pattern.Usually it is at its lowest around 4-6am and its highest at 4-6pm. (about a degree below or above average)if the kid's temp does not exceed 100, i wouldn't consider it fever.If it is >102 but present only in the afternoon with no other symptoms, it is likely something minor (viral) that should end in a day or two.If worried get seen.

Question 3

my 4year old has a fever. she started yesterday with a fever of 38 during the night it went up to 39.8. every four hours the fever is over 38.9. she has no symptoms or complains of any where sore?

Accepted Answer

Doctor: Please call your child’s pediatrician to review this.  It does not sound dangerous..perhaps she picked up a bug or virus.  However unlikely,  it might be helpful to test for corona virus.

Question 4

i have recurring typhoid fever every three to four months. in spite of a combination of spadium and chloramphenicol administered by my physician, this?

Accepted Answer

Typhoid Fever: This is not an infection we see here in the US on a routine basis.  I would think you need to get in touch with an infectious disease specialist who could help with this.

Question 5

my 6 month old son got his 6 months shot on thursday and is still running fever between 100 and 103.giving tylenol (acetaminophen) every four hours. urine test - ve.

Accepted Answer

48 hours of fever: Poor baby!  This timeline is definitely in the realm of fever related to vaccines.   I would decide according to how the baby is looking after a dose of motrin.  If he perks up and gives you a smile with a dose of motrin, then you can watch him tonight.   if he appears ill, is not feeding well, or is hard to console, then bring him to the ER now.

Question 6

my 14 year old son has had strep throat for 7 days now. he is still running a 100+ fever every now and then. he has been on amoxicillin for four days?

Accepted Answer

Re exam : With adequately treated strep, fever should be resolved by day 4.  Have him seen again if he wakes with a fever tomorrow.  How was strep diagnosed? By rapid test? By culture?  How is his pain? Is he having any drooling or trouble swallowing? Asymmetry of tonsils?  Persistent infection can hide various places.  Also, if no cx or testing done, several viruses may be culprit, mononucleosis among them

Question 7

4 year old with fevers every few weeks. comes and goes.

Accepted Answer

Have kid evaluated: To begin sorting out this issue will require a review of the medical history, exam and some testing. Potential causes range from minor to dangerous emerging illness.

Question 8

i seem to have a fever every morning. why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

Hard to diagnose: Fuo: fevers of unknown origins are very difficult to diagnose. A general physical is a must, a medical history must be evaluated. Are you using any medications: sedatives? Alcohol? Have you travelled out of the country in the recent past (parasitic infection?) these are the types of things that need to be evaluated. Specialists should be consulted with. Fevers usually are infection related.

Question 9

every time i eat i get a fever could this be something serious?

Accepted Answer

: You may wish to keep a diary of your temperature, taken by a reliable thermometer. Using a thermometer that relies on taking a reading from the ear would avoid a faulty reading after eating warm food if you take the temperature in your mouth.

Question 10

does mono cause recurrent high fevers every few weeks with no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful.: That is not typical of mono. Please see your doc and get checked and find out what is going on.
