Low grade fever
Hi Birgitta-A,
On your mention of low grade fever-
My mother had fever, since temp went to 101 F, she was treated with Iv broad spectrum antibiotic. Blood and urine culture were negative. She responded well and came home after 3 days in hospital with oral antibiotic for 5 days. 10 days later she developed a low grade fever and it's been a week now. If this is one of the symptoms/effects of mds, how is it managed? Daily Tylenol does not work well for her appetite etc, though it does bring the temperature to normal. Docs advise that there's nothing to be done in terms of treatment unless the temp goes above 104 F.
Any suggestions and advice please?
