Suggest Treatment For Long Lasting Low Grade Fever
I been having a low grade fever (99.4 to 100.4) for about 2 weeks now. Normally my temp is usually around 97.5. I am 49 and don't have any major health issues other than seasonal allergies and asthma. I don't feel ill other than the fever and seasonal allergies. Are my allergies the cause of my fever? This pattern of having low grade fevers happens several times a year for a few years now. What is causing my fevers?

Hello
Yes, frequent allergy may produce mild degree fever .
But , you are having fever , low grade for 2 weeks , so may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Typhoid fever, diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal and serology test.
2 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician .
3 Tuberculosis , some times low grade fever may be due to tuberculosis , so just for precautionary measure get in blood for CBC and ESR and deal accordingly.
