Hi,
Thank you for your query.
With multiple issues the young lady needs to be investigated thoroughly for:
1. Low grade fever.
2. Back ache.
There must be a nidus of infection which needs to be found and managed accordingly. At times the kidney infection can linger on and cause both the complaints mentioned above. Hence a simple urine routine and culture examination become mandatory to start with.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing the young lady all the best.
