What Causes Intermittent Fever And Headache In Children?
hi my granddaughter was born with one kidney and was on an antibiotic every day until she turned 5 last nov. she has been running a fever off and on for 4 or 5 days now and complains of her head hurting it seems she gets the fever when she is lying down most of the time, and when given Tylenol it goes away for a while and then she gets it again could it be allergies or something more serious, do u think?

Hello,
Her situation seems to be caused by an infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting with the pediatrician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- An abdominal ultrasound
- A urine analysis
- A stool analysis
- A urine bacterial culture
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
