Hello,
Most common causes for low-grade fever in adults include: viral respiratory tract infections, bacterial bronchitis, sometimes, antibiotics like penicillins or cephalosporins can cause a low-grade fever.
Plus, should check for urinary tract infection as it is quite common, and check thyroid function.
Keep well hydrated and regular follow up with his caring doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
