What Causes High Fever Along With Swollen Lymph Nodes?

My son is 18 and had a fever from Saturday to Wednesday. Went to Er on Sunday due to temp reaching 104.7 with Tylenol and Motrin on board. Ran many tests but no answer. Lyph nodes in neck have been swollen for months. Fever ended but he continues to have crazy sweats throughout the day. Any idea of what I should look into?

Hello
Your son is having fever for 4 days and took treatment .
But the cause of concern is enlargement of lymph nodes that too for many months , may be due to these reason , these include:
1 Infectious , bacterial , viral , fungal
2 Immunologic disease like rheumatoid arthritis mixed connective disease .
3 Lipid storage disease .
However , there are so many more reason of enlargement of lymph nodes like tuberculosis , cancer but complete assessment is important .
So I recommend you consult an immunologist and get his opinion .
Hope this will be useful for you.
