What Is Causing The Low Grade Fever At Night?

I am a 52 year old woman with a thyroid disorder. for about two and a half weeks (or more) I have been running a low grade fever at night, wake up hot..no real sweating just hot and check temp and it is a low grade fever. Now that fever seems to be running longer in the day. no cough or any other issues

Hi thanks for using healthcaremagic...
Low grade fever could be due to some infection...Some occult infection can cause low grade fever...Please check a complete blood count with ESR and CRP.Please check urine also
Just check for any dental caries...
Thyroiditis can cause low grade fever.But you will have pain over the thyroid gland.
Please do a thyroid profile...If the thyroid profile is deranged we can plan for further steps...
thank you....
