What Causes High Grade Fever During Night In A Child?

What causes a fever of 104 only at night? My 6 yr old had a fever of 104 all last week. That was the only symptom. He was on Azithromycin. Friday, he developed a dry cough. day, but generally seems fine, except every single night, around 7-10p he gets a fever of 104 which doesn t go away unless I give him tylenol.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns. From the symptoms it looks like upper respiratory tract infection. But since fever is persisting, you need to do blood tests like complete blood count, malarial antigen test and widal test. Take care.
