What Causes Recurring Low Grade Fever?

Hi, we have a 10 yr old child in the house with recurring low-grade fever (for 4days now). Is it dengue? Should we be alarmed. No loss of appetite, he is not lethargic and basically looks normal except for the low grade fevers. Thanks in advance - Haidee, Philippines.

Hi,... By what you quote it could be dengue, malarial infection, early typhoid stage. You should do CBC, Malarial antigen test, NS1 Antigen test, typhidot Igm test. This will clear the diagnosis. Till that continue drugs which you are taking. Take care.
