What Causes High Fever, Loss Of Appetite And Lethargy In Toddler?
My three year old Daughter has been running a fever of 103 since Friday the 13th. Was first told she had UTI. Went to Children's Mercy Hospital where she was given 2 bags of fluid, had blood work, CT scan, and rocphine in IV. Her WBC was 17.9 and her CRP was elevated. We were sent home and told to follow up with her PCP on Monday. We followed up with him on Monday. He repeated the CBC and did a MONO test. Her WBC is at 10.5 and MONO test was negative. We are on her sixth day of Fever, not eating and having no energy. PCP wants us to wait one more day. I am starting to get concerned. Should I be?

Hi,
It seems that there is recovery in infection as WBC came down.
Now teperature might become normal.
Wait for a day or two and if there is no improvement then go for S. Widal for having typhoid.
Consult your doctor and discuss about this.
Give light or milk diet.
Give plenty of water and keep her well hydrated.
Ok and take care.
