A member asked:

Over the last 3 months my 17 year old step son keeps having relapsing fevers 102-103. 3 weeks ago he got a z-pack and he's been fine. today 102?

Worrysome.: He'll need a workup - bloodwork, xrays, maybe more. Several possibilities including sinusitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Suggest you bring this up w/his dr.
