Suggest Treatment For High Fevers In 22 Month Baby

My granddaughter is 22 months old and is constantly spiking high fevers for which seems for no reason we can figure. Someone told me that she could have a kidney infection without any other symptoms. Is this true? What other reasons could she be having continual high fevers?

Welcome to HCM

Fever in children can be of humpty number of reasons.
Fever without any urinary symptoms like burning micturation or dribling of urine or abdominal symptoms like pain or swelling can never be an infection in the kidney.

So don panic on hearing to anyones words.
First take him to a pediatrician and identify the cause for his fever.if situation warrants an ultrasound abdomen will rule out your doubt entirely.
