What Causes Recurrent Fever And Extreme Fatigue?

My 18 year old son has had three episodes of feeling very unwell in the last 18 months. It starts with a fever (that lasts 24 hours) followed by 72 hours of extreme fatigue. He states that his mind won t work and appears to be sensitive to noise. He saw his physician last spring who found nothing psychological, but did blood work for mononucleosis (which came back negative). Each time, the symptoms resolve within 4 days.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of recurrent fever and extreme fatigue this seems to be viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. You should take muscle relaxant as well. Do warm saline gargles. Take analgesic and take light diet. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Avoid cold carbonated liquids. You should not take fried, hot and spicy food.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
