I have a problem with low grade fever, which used to occur for 6 years in spring and summer-time, but now I have it constantly for the last two years. Quite detailed blood tests seem fine apart from elevated IgE (1000), no visible signs of allergy, but I developed lately post nasal drip. Anyone heard what may cause such symptoms and how to cure them? Thank you!

Hi,
I have the same symptoms: low grade fever for several months during the academic semster and than nothing when it's over. it's really hard to study when i'm tired all the time. i always thought it was my chronic tonsillitis but the meds usually very helpful with it do not help at all. please help.
Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Anemia is the commonest cause for low grade fever. Stress, fatigue, poor sleep patterns too can cause this. Dehydration is a frequent cause of low grade fever with malaise. So drink plenty of fluids and see.
Recurrent or chronic fever is seen in tuberculosis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and other auto immune disorders, UTI, drug fever, glandular fever, otitis media, IBS, HIV, STDs, endocarditis, parasitic infestations, fungal infections, lymphomas and other cancers etc. If you belong to the fairer sex, then even polycystic ovary, menopause, PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) should be investigated for.
Most labs have a fever panel to rule out most diseases that can cause persistent low grade fever.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
