Any advice helpful!!

Hi, I have a little girl. she is 2.5. at 2 days before she turned 2 months old she had a high fever and was admitted in to the hospital and they did every test under the sun. nasal swab, spinal tap, xray blood work etc. the diagnosis was fever of unknown origin. after that she was diagnosed with RSV 3 times over the next few months. Each time she was given a refill for meds to go in the nebulizer they gave me the first time she had it. she has alwas had episodes of fevers, and I didn't realise that until recently. for the last few months every three weeks or so she comes down with cold like symptoms (sometimes lasting a week or more), also she has episodes where she will be perfectly fine and then spike a high fever, which lasts for days on end. then will go away and come back a few days later. most of the time with no other syptoms. any time I take her to the ER or urgent care, its always oh its an ear infection (shes been diagnosed with about 15 ear infections since she was born.) and never during those "ear infections" has she ever shown any outward syptoms of an ear infection. you know like pulling at her ears or anything like that.   I am worried about the fever episodes. Is this something that I should be worried about or could something else going on? Is there anything I should know before confronting a doctor about doing deeper tests on her? When she isnt running a fever she is an absolutely happy little girl. Oh except she bruises REALLY easy. Her shins on both legs are covered in bruises a bunch of little ones, she isnt abused, One day she wont have any bruises and the next day shes covered in them. and she doesnt go to day care or anything (which is another reason why I am so worried about why she is getting sick so often) I am a stay at hom mom so she is always with me.  I am hoping to call a pediatrician tomorrow and get her in as soon as they can see her. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks

a worried mom

I believe as you do that the Doctor /medical advice would be best I hope when you get this you have seen someone and they have put your mind at rest ,it is possible that you are simply concerned as all Moms are and over reacting, if she had all these ear infections they would be able to see when looking into her ear canal?Did they prescribe anti biotics for the ear infections?
