What Causes High Fever?
Hi! I have a 10 year old daughter who has had a fever ranging from normal to 104.5 for the past 14 days. She has been to her pediatrician and in and out of hospitals for testing but no one knows for sure what is wrong. She has only had a fever- NO other symptoms. I am looking for anything to help the docs to try to figure this out.
