| My 24 month old has high fever for 4 1/2 days now. Fever up to 104.7 degrees (rectally) but NO other symptoms. I've had her in to the Pediatrician's office 2 times in the last 4 days...no swollen glands, ears are clear (she has tympanostomy tubes), throat looks fine. I brought a urine sample in this morning and there was blood in the urine but nitrates and protein levels were not elevated. It's been sent out for urinalysis but may not get back till Monday. What are possible causes for blood in urine other than UTI and what could be possible causes for the fever (plenty, I know). The pedicatrician said they want to see my daughter in the office tomorrow if the fever persists and they may try to draw blood depending on the results of the urinalysis. Past medical history is significant for reflux, chronic otitis media, h/o blood in stool (negative sigmoidoscopy and it subsided after 6 mos.) My ped's office haven't offered any possible causes- probably don't want to worry me but I prefer to have all the info. Any feedback, suggestions, etc are appreciated. |
