What would cause a high fever to come back after just two weeks in a child?

Q: My daughter is 8 years old and about two weeks ago I had her to the hospital for high fever, sore throat, headache, and she said her eyes were hurting. They tested her for strep throat (which she has had a lot before) and it came back negative. They sent her home with a prescription for motrin. Her fever was getting as high as 103. I gave it a couple of days and when I noticed that her fever would not go down even with the medicine I took her to a different hospital. They were unable to find anything wrong, they also did the strep test and even let it culture and I never did get called to say it came back positive. When I took her into the second hospital she was really pale and was not able to stay awake while there. They did get her fever down but told me to watch her for a couple more days. Finally her fever went down and now I am really worried because every symptom has come back. I don’t know what could cause this and why they are unable to find out what is going on. Anyone who has any suggestion about what could be wrong please get back to me. The doctor from the second hospital had told me to watch for a rash that looked like bruises because she was showing all other signs of meningitis and it is really scaring me.

A: It sounds like a secondary infection. Maybe an ear infection or bronchitis, or strep throat. My kids did this a lot. Got a viral infection then a couple weeks later an ear infection or bronchitis. Better go back and they will probably give you antibiotics this time. I’ll give you a little info on meningitis so you won’t worry so much:HOW DO I DECIDE IF MY CHILD’S SYMPTOMS MAY BE MENINGITIS? – WHEN TO WORRY (OR NOT WORRY)IThe key to meningitis is the neck pain and stiffness. So if your child has severe neck pain and stiffness, and one or more of the other four symptoms, call your doctor to be seen right away, or page the doctor after hours. On the other hand, if your child does NOT have neck pain or stiffness, and DOES have the other symptoms, then it is less likely to be meningitis. If the headache is very, very severe, fever and vomiting are present, but there is no neck stiffness or pain, you should contact your doctor just to be safe.Additionally, fever is almost always present during meningitis. So if your child has a headache, but no fever (and no neck stiffness), then you can be reassured it is not meningitis.In fact, headache, fever and vomiting, without neck pain or stiffness, is probably the just a bad flu virus. MOST IMPORTANTLY – if you are not sure, contact your doctor. http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/t083700.asp

What do you think is wrong with me?

Q: Ok. So two days ago I was just really tired with a headache.The next day I woke up at 6:30, had a headache, my legs hurt so much I couldn’t stand up, and my lower and upper abdomin hurt. I also had a sore throat and felt sick that I felt I couldn’t eat or drink anything. My mom gave me a high dose of tylonel (adult dose, I’m 16) and it took some of the pain away, enough to get me standing up. I still had sharp pains in my legs and upper abdomin. It eventually went away by the very end of the day when I went to bed, but I was tired as heck.I woke up today at 4am, and I had a headache, sore throat, a fever, and sharp upper abdominal pains. My legs did not hurt nor did my lower abdomin, and I am able to eat and drink. As I said my throat hurt, and I coughed up some phlegm with a little bit of blood. I don’t know if it was from my through or upper abdomin though.. I ate something now and I took a carbon tablet (to help the pain in my abdomin, to break down and intestinal gases.) help?Also, the pain yesterday- in my legs and abdomin were so painful I was crying. Right now, its 5:30 am.. (woke up at 4am) and I feel better, still a little upper abdominal pain, headache and fever. Took something for my throat, so it feels better. What do you think all of this may be? I know it could be multiple different things too.. What do you think?

A: you should go to the doctor pronto. With all the warnings about meningitis along with your symptoms, I would not wait. Better safe than sorry, right? Go to the DOCTOR!
