low grade prolonged fever

[oolaala]

My 3 year old son has low grade fever for more than 20 days now. It ranges from 99 to 100.1. It all started with ear infection and doctor prescribed augmentin. Ear infection got treated but he has this low grade fever after that. His pediatrician got all the blood tests including AR and urine test done. He did mono and immunity test as well and all are normal. he is active in fever as well and there are no other symptoms. Please help as seeing your little one in fever breaks your heart.

Thank you so much for the valuable feedback...but his doctor has done extended tests to check the immune system and the results are normal..

Hello! When a fever breaks, it is quite normal to sweat. I should know, been through it for years. I know u said your little was tested for immunity diseases, any specific ones? All I can do is comment from my own experience. Im 33 but 5 years ago, after having my last baby i kept a mild to moderate at times fever for nearly 43 days. I was hospitalized for three and half weeks and kept on an ice water mattress thing and given tyelnol around th clock. Doctors were stumpped..had no clue what the heck was going on with me. Eventually I was released but no certain diagnosos until s year later when it was discovered that I had lupus. They never tested me for that. Just so happens a year later, I myself had an ear infection that was diagnosed by my primary pyshician and given  antibiotics,  I had a fever with the infection. well after two weeks of taking the meds..my ear felt better but I still had the fever, she did blood work, examined me again, looked at my history and referred me to a rheumatologist to further evaluate me. Lupus is a tricky disease and often overlooked because it appears as other things. im doing much better now. Hopefully this can help you!

To add : When his fever goes down on its own he starts sweating. Is this normal?
