Hello- I'm a concerned mother of a 3 year old that is having some trouble. It started about 1 year ago with monthly high fevers of 102 - almost 105. This was occasionally accompanied by a virus but not every time (additional symptoms not present). We had an episode of a very high fever for several days followed by recurring febrile seizures. Since then, he's had a low grade fever (between 99.5-101) weekly. It lasts about 2 days and goes away. It's really strange, he either seems to have unusual bursts of energy with his fever or fatigue- there is no happy medium. I've also witnessed several episodes of repetitive jerking movements- for instance, he will jerk his head to the side 6-7 times then go on like nothing happened. He can't offer an explanation for what he's doing- which isn't usual from our vocal child. We've been to several pediatric doctors, the local children's hospital, and we've been told he's just "unlucky". We are going to see a chiropractor this week and hope to find an answer. If anyone can shed some light on this unusual behavior it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
