I have a chronic low grade fever for 2 months.

Question

I have MS,Diabetes(on pills),High Blood Pressure,Anemia,Periodontal Disease,Chronic Paiin & PTSD. I'm also on many medications as expected with the illnesses. Well, for two months I've had a low grade fever I can not get rid of. My doctor gave me an antibiotic an it went away for a month. A few weeks later it came back and the doctor has me going to an infectious disease doctor. My blood work came back with the white blood cells slightly elevated, obgyn tests were fine, urine test came back fine an so did my chest exray. I don't have problems breathin, no skin infection, so what the heck can be doing this?

This discussion is related to chronic low-grade fever.

Hi 
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Actually all the problems you have—diabetes, stress, anemia, periodontal disease can cause low grade fever. Hence correcting these problems will improve body temperature. Drink plenty of fluids, eat healthy, exercise regularly, correct anemia with treatment, and consult your dentist and diabetologist. Take care!
