Suggest Treatment For Severe Chronic Fever

I have been running a fever for about 5 months now. It will vary from 99.3 to 100.5.Once in a GREAT while it will be normal, or a little higher than 101.5. It will change from hour to hour. I have seen my Dr. twice now about it she runs a few test and tells me everything is normal. Should I see another Doctor? If so what kind of Doctor?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many causes of Fever but most commonly it is caused due to Infection. Infection can be caused due to bacteria , virus , fungus or parasites. It needs to be evaluated for what has caused infection in your body.

Clearly the tests done on you till now has not found out the cause but that doesn't mean that everything is fine. It means you have not been evaluated with the right test.

I would recommend you to consult Infectious Disease Specialist for this problem and he shall evaluate properly for your fever.

Hope this information was useful to you.
