Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi! I am a new member to this board. I am not sure where to post my family background, but I will give you the latest. My son, Jordan, began having fevers of 101-105 in November and has had them every month since. He also has the sore throat, headache and occ. stomach ache. He is prone to cancre soars anyway so we hadn't linked them to his febrile episodes. He missed 23 days of school this year with these episodes. We are now on the right track and have a great infectuous disease Dr. here in Carmel, Indiana. We just completed all the first round of blood tests and won't see the Dr. again until July 6th. His initial impression is that Jordan has , but of course he wants to rule the other things out for sure. He seems to lean towards having his tonsils removed as they are always swollen with exudate when these fevers occur and his cervical lymph nodes enlarge. The thing I am interested in learning is how other children have responded to tonsillectomy. Jordan is 12 years old and seems a bit old compared to the other children I have read about. I have been a Registered Nurse for 25 years and currently work in an ER. I now wonder how many of these children have presented for treatment in our ER and received a septic workup for these same fevers.
