What Causes Fever?
My one-year-old has run fever for 30 days between 99 and 101 Fahrenheit. I m concerned that something is wrong. We have tested her blood and urine and everything looks normal. She has become more irritable the past few days. It concerns me that she may have something more serious. Today she had fever at 10:00 am as well. I only give medicine if she is acting like she is uncomfortable (pulling on her face and fussy). Any ideas?

Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Fever for one month! We should rule out some thing chronic .
Initially we should rule out enteric fever/ malaria or UTI etc, but if these disease are excluded by the investigation then one should think of some chronic diseases like koch`s etc.
Few tests more to be done like;
CXR,ESR, Mx TEST or some times TB gold Quantiferon test.
Ultrasound abdomen to rule out micro abscess of liver/enlarged mesentric lymphadinopathy etc
Thanks
