What Causes Recurring Fever In A 4 Year Old With Neck Pain?

My 4 year old daughter has reoccurring fever with no apparent causes. No one else in the family becomes ill leading me to believe it s not contagious. Her symptoms including high fever, around 39.5 while on Tylenol and Advil. She also has vomiting and once complained about neck pain. (Not meningitis, she was assessed by a doctor) She has no other obvious symptoms of a cold or flu. The doctors tell me that it s probably viral but it doesn t make sense because no one else ever gets sick. (It s happened 4 or 5 times in the past several months) These symptoms usually last 1 or 2 days then disappear very quickly. Afterwards she looks very pale with dark eyes for a while. She s also on a long term laxative for chronic constipation and a medication for overactive bladder.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, i read your question and understands your concern. if your child's blood tests are normal and her physical examination is normal then it is likely that your child is having viral fever. i see many children getting affected from viral fever often sometimes twice in a month.
