What Causes Fever Along With Swollen Tonsil?

My biyfriend has been experiencing around 39.8 fever every night for the past week. He also seems to have a swallen tonsil although he is not experiencing any throat pain. He continues to have headaches, and fever that goes away during the day.Those are the only symptoms - no mucus- no runny nose- only headaches and high fever at night- what can this be?

Hello,
If symptoms do not indicate a respiratory infection or develop into a cold with all the expected side effects, look into some systemic disorders. A fever for a long period of time is a concern and indicates the body is fighting an infection. Blood tests will provide a great deal of information about overall health. Mononucleosis and blood disorders are a couple of possibilities.
Consider having a dental exam to rule out any oral infections. This includes an abscessed tooth or periodontal disease. An oral infection, untreated, can spread and cause a systemic reaction including sepsis.
Try to control the fever with Antiinflammitory medication, keep well hydrated and make sure to have a balanced diet to avoid vitamins deficiencies.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope that my suggestions are helpful.
