Low Grade Fever over a month

[UnsureMS]

Please help me out. I am trying to talk my mom into going to the doctor. She has a low grade fever got over a month. She has a headache off and on during this time a sore throat on one side only. She has had dirreaha off and on. The part that worries me is the fever and that she has been taking over the counter drugs to fight it. She won't go to the doctor. If anyone has any idea what this could be or what will scare for my mom into going to the hospital help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks to everyone...I guess I will just pray she stops being stubborn.

She needs to see a doctor, it has been going on too long. It sounds like a low grade infection, these can turn into a more serious issue.

It could be a throat infection, if that's the case over the counter meds won't fix the problem. she will need to see a doctor and be prescribed some antibiotics to fight off the infection. Once she starts taking the antibiotics she will feel better after 2-3 days but that doesn't mean stop taking the antibiotics she must go through with the whole treatment or the infection will just come back stronger then before and she will then have to get even stronger antibiotics to treat her.

She will defiantly need to see a doctor to diagnose her correctly.

Hope this helps
