Thorough examination: Blood work is a minor part of the evaluation of a patient. When a problem goes unsolved, a thorough history and very thorough physical examination may get to the bottom of the problem. Contact your doctor for re-evaluation.

Autoimmune disease: Unexplained recurrent fever can be a sign of hidden infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Common medications can also cause recurrent fever. You need a doctor who is a sleuth. The timing of your fevers, medical history, exposures to animals, medications, and physical exam findings will give clues. Look up "fever of unknown origin" for more info.
