Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi, I am new to this group. I have a 15 month old daughter who has had four episodes (perhaps more, but they would have occured with her monthly ear infections) of high fevers spaced 15 - 16 days apart. She does not display any other symptoms. She is miserable for three days straight. Tylenol doesn't help, but Motrin will bring her fever down a degree or two. We brought this up to the ped. at her 15 month check up and they immediatly did bloodwork and urine tests...all came back normal. Now she is in the middle of the fourth episode of fevers and we went back to the dr. He found nothing visually wrong with my little one, and is sending us back for more bloodtests. He has ordered 15 tests! When we asked him about the periodic fever syndrome he said it is a diangosis by elimination. He went on to mention juvenile rumitoid (sp?) arthritis, leukemia, and neutrenia (sp?). We left in a bit of shock...has anyone ever been put through these tests? Please share what you can. Thanks so much! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
