What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes And Recurring Fever?
my 1 year old son had a 104 fever a month ago for 24 hours. I noticed at that time a few swollen lymph nodes on the left side of his neck. Since then he has had on and off fevers from 99.3 to 101.5. Almost everyday. I have been to tthe pediatrician and she couldn t find anything wrong with him.

Hi,
Is there any symptoms apart from fever? Is he otherwise active and playful? How is feeding? Any investigations done? Fever persisting for 4 weeks definitely needs detailed evaluation to find out the cause. Kindly get back to us with details. Meanwhile, give him paracetamol when needed and give a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
