Cronic Fever
My 3 year old has had a recurring fever for 6 months or even longer. He has a low grade temp ranging anywhere from 99 degress to 102 degrees. Been to 2 different pediatric docs and get the same answer "viral". On Jan. 15th, 2010 he has a seizure and they ordered all of these tests including a CAT scan and MRI. Larger than normal adenoids were noted. TODAY I FINALLY had his pediatrician recommend me to ENT. Should this have been addressed sooner? Anyone with similar experience?

You must go for a complete fever panel. Recurrent or chronic fever is seen in tuberculosis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, and other auto immune disorders, UTI, drug fever, sinusitis, glandular fever, otitis media, IBS, endocarditis, parasitic infestations, fungal infections, lymphomas and other cancers etc. It can even be diabetes and hyperthyroidism. Discuss with your son’s pediatrician. Take care!
