What Causes Fever, Loss Of Appetite And More Sleep?
My daughter has had a fever of 101-104 on and off for a couple weeks now. Appetite is up and down. She's sleeping abnormally long (up to 16 hours at night and 2-3 naps). At times she looks pale. Then an hour later she's fine. No coughing, runny nose or any other symptoms.
