Hello
Since your daughter is having low grade fever for 2 weeks and almost all reports are within normal range .
The possibilities of such type of fever may be , these include:
1 Typhoid fever , mostly low grade fever is usually due to typhoid fever . Diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal test as well as serology test.
2 Viral fever or sore throat are other common reason of such type of fever , particularly low grade . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination .
3 Tuberculosis ,another possibility of such fever is tuberculosis . Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood for ES R ( if very high i.e. >100 mm is suggestive of either tuberculosis or some chronic disease ) X ray chest .Some times long standing fever present due to primary complex in children .
However , there are so many other reason of such fever , so consult another physician and get his opinion ( 2nd ).
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
