Always a fever, sometimes nausea

[tu4four]

My son has had a low grade fever on and off (but mostly on) for the past few weeks. On one occasional he threw up (just a little), but he often complains of nausea. I have taken his to the pedi twice for this, but they so the strep test I ask for (negative the last two times) and since his fever is so low (often it shows 98.6 on their therm), they send me on my way, and that's the end of it.

 

Last time the pedi did test for a couple of viruses..he showed a very high igg to ebv, but that's it.

 

This morning he also has diarrhea. Anybody know what could be causing this?

 

He is not my most affected child, but I feel like leaving anything untreated for long period of time could cause a bigger issue. FYI, my 4 year old has also had a low-grade fever for almost as long. It's the kind of thing where their hands are warm in mine and they are warm on their foreheads.

All I can tell you is this was some of the symptoms my daughter had when she was in her first flare. She was positive for Myco p. Later we found that she was positive for Lyme and bartonella also. It finally went away after she was treated with antibiotics for about 6 months. I think it indicates that immune system is being activated by something. Question would be what of course. I'm not sure why the doctor would run only IgG titers for anything. You need IgM titers to test for an active infection. IgG only tells you if there was a past exposure.

have you done comprehensive blood work on all your children for all usual triggers?

DD had fevers for months, but they weren't continuous. They did happen every evening at bedtime though, like clock-work.
