Suggest Treatment For Fever
my daughter has been on norditropin for 8 months. she had a fever for several days, the doctors could not find out what is wrong with her, so is it her medication that is causing the fever? Plus a week ago she was diagnosed with strep took peniclin and became fever free, few days after being off the meds her fever came back, but the doctor could not find the cause...

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fever is not a known side effect of norditropin though patients can react differently to medication.
Since she started the medication 8 months ago and the fever started only a few days ago, this also decreases the chance that it is related to the medication.
Her doctor may want to consider a fever screen which would normally include blood tests, urine analysis and imaging.
These investigations would be able to determine the cause of the recurrent high temperature.
I hope this helps
