What Causes Prolonged Low Grade Fever With Pain In Back And Stomach?
my 13 year old daughter has had a low grade fever from 99.4 up to 102.6 for a week now, i have taken her to the doc they said she had a UTI, then took her to the hospital three days later and they said she had a viral infection, still has a fever, lower back pains and stomach pains. They did blood work at the hospital to check kidneys but they said all was fine, What is causing this? it is ok for her to go this long with a fever

Thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
As I undeurerstand your daugher is suffering from Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) .there are so many causes for PUO and we should not neglect it .
you need to undergone investigation for some common illness . I suggest you following investigation then we would be able to start treatment .
1. Blood culture and sensitivity
2. Total and differential leucocyte count .
3. Urine rouine and microscopy
4.Widal test
5 Blood peripheral smear exmination
these all test will guide us to sart reatment .
review me after investigation report .
Presently you can take Tab Paracetamol 500mg for fever as and when needed with water after meal .
Feel free for any further query.
