What Causes Intermittent Fever In A Child?

My granddaughter is 15 months old and has intermittent temps ranging from. 101-103 sometimes as high as 104. My daughter generally ends up in the ER with no answers. I m wondering if she needs a CBC blood test to check for some kind of lymphoma or other blood disorderes? This has been going on for. Couple months now? Any thoughts?

I think she is suffering from recurrent influenza infections which are common in this age group and causes repeated episodes of fever. To rule out other possibilities get a blood test done for CBC, CRP Chest Xray and urine routine examination. If all the reports comes out normal get a INfluenza vaccine yearly which will help the child.
