What Causes My Daughter S Persistent Low Grade Fever?

Dr.- I feel silly asking a question, because I m a fourth semester nursing student and I feel like I should know the answer; however, I have a 3 year old daughter who has had a mild temp (100-103) for the past two days. She has been active and playful, and still very picky about foods. Trying to figure out the cause of this temperature has caused me to check every system. Everything looks great, no rashes, no throat irritation, no runny nose, no cough, lung sounds clear. So my last resort was to check her urine. I noticed very small trace amounts of white particles in her urine. She is urinating a normal amount, with no signs of discomfort. She has had a UTI before (about 6 mos ago) and was able to articulate that it hurt when she peed and her urine was very cloudy. I m concerned she has a UTI, but her symptoms are so vague it confusing me. Please help! You opinion is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...with a background of UTI, your suspicions are very much valid. Please do a urinalysis and approach your paediatrician if it is suggestive of UTI. I hope for last UTI she has undergone a USG abdomen and DMSA scan and reflux has been ruled out - hopefully.
