default
Posted on Fri, 1 May 2020
Question: I have had a fever for 3 days. My highest temperature has been 102.2. This is on 600mg of ibuprofen q 4 hours. I have no other symptoms except tenderness in my axillary areas, noticed this AM. I also have had a temp over 99.5 but less than 100 at least once a week since they started taking daily temperatures. What could be causing this? Periodic Fever Syndrome? Should I see a Dr.?

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

You are having history of fever for a significant period of time and it is even not responding to round the clock antipyretics (Ibuprofen).
Intensity of fever has progressively worsened and it is associated with the axillary lymphadenopathy.

This may be due to an acute viral or bacterial infection,fungal infections,tuberculosis,benign tumours,leukaemia or lymphomas etc.

Please visit your clinician for complete evaluation and clinical examination.
He would go for relevant tests including the blood work and treat you according to the investigation reports procured.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
