What Causes Varying Fever In A Child When Having Mono?
My 16 year old son was diagnosed with Mono on March 13 (symptoms began on the 7th). His fever will spike to 102 at times then dip into the 95 - 96 degree range. Is it possible for this to still be mono? We are continuing to have him tested for other things... Epstein Barr was negative, kidney functions are normal, no swelling of lymph nodes or spleen.
