What Could Constant Fever Post A Pneumonia Infection Suggest?
My daughter was diagnised with pneumonia bacterial and was hospitalized for nine days. She is now in home care and was released after the fever was gone for 48 hours. After 5 days of home care she got a low grade fever. I took her to the doc who did an xray which was postive as the pneumonia looked like it was clearing up. She is still on lavaquin day day 8. She is very tired. Why is getting this fever. BTW fever comes every 24 hours and is about 37.8 C
