Recurring HIGH fever in a 1 year old..

[JBsMom10]

Hi. My son is 13 months old. Since he was about 5 months old, he has off and on developed fevers. He developed teeth early ( he has 13 teeth now) and had several colds from daycare. At the age of around 8 months old, he developed a 106 fever and was rushed to the ER. They sent us home that night with antibiotics and said it was a virus. Since then, yes since then.. he has had a fever on and off. A week has not gone by without developing a fever in between the range of 100-105. Many times, he has no other sympton AT ALL. Now, it has been 7 weeks with recurring HIGH ( 101-104) FEVER. Every time we take him to the doctor, they say it is justa virus and to let it pass. I cannot take this "virus thing" as the answer anymore. Is it just me? Am I crazy or is this abnormal? What does this sound like to you? I need a doctor to help him!

Our son Broc has just had a GI distress profile done and it all came back negative as we were also thinking a food allergy or intolerance.

At the moment we are seeing a metabolic specialist to test for Mitochondrial or metabolic disorders.

Has anyone mentioned Celiac Disease? Or other food intolerances like Gluten? Casein? Soy?

its so true, my 20 month old son has recurring fevers. I have been in and out of emergencies and everytime it has to do with his tonsils. I am very frustrated cause his on antibiotics again for the 5th time in 5 months and now I am waiting on an appt with the ear and throat specialist to see when he gets his tonsls removed. I have been waiting for 2 wks for this appt and nothing yet.

A friend's 18-month-old baby has, or had, a temperature of 39 degrees C and depression.  What could be the cause; and what would be a home remedy?

I agree 100% with you Ukmum2! We've been a dairy free family (6 of us) for about 3 years now. Our family feels GREAT! It's been a huge change for us, from where we were before we eliminated dairy. But I must add, soy is a dangerous alternative.
