Are Fever And Tiredness Related To Insect Bite Under Breast?

For the past two weeks I have felt queasy, tired, and run a low fever (99.9). I also have discomfort in my left lower abdomen which my doctor thought was due to a twisted pelvis. He is an internist/osteopath so he adjusted it a week ago. I had a CBC run and all was good. I have an insect bite under my breast but did not think to tell him about it. Could it be related?

I dont think your symptoms are necessarily because of insect bite. Low grade fever with malaise can occur in any infection - bacterial or viral in origin. Depending upon the geography of your area, further investigations for malaria, dengue, typhoid, influenza etc may be required. Undiagnosed fever for more than 2 weeks is not a good sign. A mere CBC will not be helpful. Depending upon your ESR and CRP levels, your treating physician should be planning further.
