Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
