Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is 4 years old has psoriasis and keeps getting constant fevers of 100.9-104.2 that last between 3-15 days.. his ped said first time it happened that it was a viral infection, then went back when he wasnt getting any better and they said it was a sinus, then went back and they said it was allergies. they hevtn dont any tests other than a fecal sample because there was a lot blood in his stool a few weeks ago. He had a little fever last night and all day yesterday his eyes were watery and he kept getting really bad eye boogers and a very nasty cough.. He woke up today with another fever of 102.6 and all of the same simptoms as yesterday but is also complaning of a stomach ache. I have no clue what to do, his dr just looks at me like im insane when obviously there is something wrong with him, im not a dr but im pretty sure its not normal for a 4 yr old boy to have constant high fevers every 1-2 months for 3-15 days.
Hi... I understand your concern. Even as a doctor I am concerned when a child is having fever for 15 days every month for the past 3-4 months and now presenting with blood in the stools. I would like to consider the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease in your child and I suggest that you consult a paediatric Gastroenterologist for further work up regarding this.
