Suggest Treatment For High Fever
My 5 yo granddaughter has had a temperature of 102 F for a week. Sometimes it is lower but goes up everyday usually in afternoon. She is very tired. Originally thought it was a virus but on second trip to MD felt maybe Lymes Disease, that has been ruled out now think she had had Mononucleuous and acquired a bacterial infection. Several weeks ago parents saw a bite mark on her ankle after picking her up from daycare. No bullet type ring. Been on Amoxicillin x 4 days. Temperature this evening up again. Please advise.

Hi dear,
Longstanding fever and tiredness is suggestive ongoing infections like tuberculosis ,typhoid etc.
Kindly see a pediatrician for evaluation.
You may be asked for an x ray and some blood tests.
Take care .
Thank you.
