Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello everyone. I found your site on a search for . A family friend recommended me do some research on it-I had never heard of it before, but am trying to figure out what's wrong with my 2 1/2 year old daughter. 6 weeks ago, I took her to the Immediate Care Center for a high fever (104) and loss of appetiite. The Dr. diagnosed her with Strep Throat, even though the culture came back negative (he said she had all the underlying symptoms). He gave her Omnicef. 5 days later she woke up with a stiff neck and her pediatrician ran blood work, bacterial levels were high, so we went to the hospital for a meningitis test. The spinal tap was clear and it took about 1 1/2 weeks for her to stop complaining of neck pain. Then 5 weeks later, a high fever (104, 105) returned for a few days and I took her back to her pediatrician. They ran a ton of tests and blood work. Ruled out strep (although her throat was very red and swollen), chest xray for pneumonia was clear, urine was ok and eventually all the mono tests were negative. Her blood work was the same as it was 5 weeks ago, with the inflammation and high bacterial count. It took about 5 days, but her fever subsided and she is doing much better. The Drs thought allergies or a viral infection. Her symptoms were high fever, delirium, inconsolable crying, and lethargic. She also complained of belly aches. I am not sure if she has as I am just starting my research. I would appreciate any feedback and I look forward to reading all the articles and information. Thank you so much for your time. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
