What Causes High Fever And Frequent Deification?

I have a fever of 100.4, it went up to 102+ earlier but I ve been controlling it by getting fluids and taking a medicine my doctor recommended when I visited him today. I ve felt so bad today I even missed a swim meet I had scheduled. I started feeling bad last night, but I had around 100 F as well. I don t know why I have a fever, my doctor examined me and said everything was fine, but I have been going to the restroom more than 3 times to defecate over the past two days. I don t know if it was because I have been having green tea. I also exercise daily, 2 hours, but it s nothing that can cause my body to heat up.I also have a cat, and he has left a couple of scratches and bites, he s only 2 months old and he gets his first vaccine tomorrow. This led me to consider Cat-Scratch disease, but my doctor didn t report any swollen lymph nodes.I d also like to state that I m on 13 years old, turning 14 in November, and am allergic to climate change, but I haven t gotten this sick for a while. I also had swimmer s ear about a month ago, but my ears are fine now since I went to the doctor.Thanks

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I carefully read your question and understand your concern.
If you are having fever and diarrhea very likely it is a viral self limiting infection and it will take few more day till you feel much better. meanwhile it is recommended that you make sure you take a lot of fluids, oral re-hydration solutions are best and BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple, toast). make sure of washing your hands with warm water and soap before meals and after using the toilet and do not touch the food of other people due to risk of contagiousity. If no lymphnodes it is unlikely to have cat scratch disease so do not worry.
Use paracetamol and ibuprofen as needed for the fever and rest as possible and you should start to feel much better in the next 3 days, if no better or any worse you will need to see a doctor.
Hope this is helpful and answers to your question.
