Question 1

chronic allergies with chronic low grade fever for 3 weeks is that a possiblty?!

Accepted Answer

Yes: Possible but may be dealing with a bacterial infection at this point.

Question 2

low grade fever every day for 3 weeks 97.0 and 99.5?

Accepted Answer

Fever: Fever is a sign of infection usually. Most viral illnesses will resolve on their own in 2-3 days but ongoing fevers even low grade should not be taken lightly. Go see your physician now to determine the cause

Question 3

low grade fever (37.3 cel) 1 week, no other symptoms, cbc normal. could it be attributed to the increased dose of symbicort tu rbuhaler? she has asthm

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The asthma action plan outlines a plan for use of the Symbicort. This may be reviewed during a virtual Health Tap consultation. If you child has no cough, shortness of breath or wheezing, the medications for asthma are most likely effective. From your note, your child is not experiencing any symptoms of concern. Please follow up with your Pediatrician and have a flu vaccine each year.

Question 4

have a constant headache, low grade fever & swollen feet for 3 weeks. ct scan of head and cbc normal. no relief with prednisone or pain meds. help?

Accepted Answer

Headache: This is a common complaint and can result from many underlying illnesses.  You have a fever of undetermined origin, and without knowing what evaluations have been done and the rest of the medical history and exam my best suggestion would be to see an infectious diseases expert. Do not know why you were given prednisone, but this does not, superficially, sound like a good idea. See an id doc.

Question 5

what should i do for a low grade fever for three days?

Accepted Answer

May not need to...: The most common cause of elevated body temperature/fever is viral illness/infection. It is a defense mechanism your body is mounting in attempt to rid off the infection quicker--heat speeds up chemical reaction, thus body can work a bit quicker. If it is mild and not causing symptoms for you, leave it alone. If too high, motrin/tylenol as needed for comfort. Consult doc if much worse. Good luck.

Question 6

my three year old has a cough and low grade fever just common cold or do i need to make an appointment with her dr?

Accepted Answer

Cough: If his cough is not associated with breathing problems and his fever remains low and he is taking fluids, continue to monitor his symptoms. If he gets worse instead of better, have him checked. All the best.

Question 7

third time submitting after two error notifications:  i have been running a low grade fever for over two weeks. i have three days left of a cefidner prescription.  i am still running a low-grade - ranges from 99 to high of 100.7.  i have no other symptoms

Accepted Answer

May need a re-exam: One who got diagnosed with an infection and has been on a week or so of antibiotics, but has continued low-grade fevers may have:  an infection by germs that don't get stopped by Cefdinir, a need for a higher dose of Cefdinir, a second condition (may or may not be an infection), etc... If symptoms are mild, a video consultation may suffice. Otherwise, an in-person examination is likely needed.

Question 8

can chronic fatigue syndrome cause a low grade fever everyday that comes and goes throughout the day for over three months?

Accepted Answer

No: But the low grade fever (&gt;99.5 degree) may point to a smoldering infection which may contribute to the fatigue.

Question 9

i took plan b one step three days ago after unprotected sex. since yesterday exp. extreme fatigue, no appetite and low grade fever (100.3) causes?

Accepted Answer

See doctor : Fever is not normal. Plan b is better if taken within 3 days (even 5 days).  You should get a period,  see doctor to figure out your fever, get exam and get further history.

Question 10

achy all over, pressure on lungs, low grade fever, dark brown yellow mucous for one cough today. past three days. see dr?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: Please see a doctor at a clinic or the emergency room immediately. You need an exam and chest X-ray. You could have a serious lung infection which can be treated such as pneumonia.
