The things you mention can be part of a particular chemical exposure that would cause autoimmune issues. Autoimmune hypothalamus. Antibiotics are not the answer. Even high white blood cell counts are a clue to the FATIGUE that usually is also present but not always

Hi,
How is your father? Fever of unknown origin (FUO) was previously defined as a body temperature ≥ 38.3°C rectally for ≥ 3 wk without discovering the cause despite extensive investigation for at least 1 wk. The most common are infections, occult tumors, drugs, and connective tissue disorders. This varies with age, and in your father's case, connective tissue disorders or inflammatory bowel disease are the usual cause.
To reach a definite diagnosis, repeated tests and physical examination needs to be done. Complete and repeated physical examinations, especially of the skin, eyes, nail beds, lymph nodes, heart, and abdomen is important. Laboratory evaluation generally focuses on detecting infection and connective tissue and neoplastic disorders.To detect connective tissue disorders, serologic tests, such as antinuclear antibody (ANA) and rheumatoid factor, are first obtained as screening tests.
Take care and do keep us posted.

Have they checked his SED rate or ran any tests for any auto immune disorders? My son had fever as a primary symptom and was diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever. You should read about it, very rare and hard to diagnose here in the US but more common in other areas.
Hope this helps
