Hi, My 6.5 year old son developed severe spring allergies in the spring of 2013. He had them again this year. The thing that I am unsure about is that each year after his allergies have initially blown up is that he gets a fever with very little other symptoms every three weeks, +/- 2 days like clock work. The fever is about 102 and goes away after 2-3 days. This goes on from the onset of his allergies until the fall. Is it possibly tonsillitis or something that is causing the regularly spaced intermittent fever?
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Fever occurs as a result of the bodies inflammatory response. Though this inflammatory response most commonly occurs as a result of infection, it can also occur due to allergies and in severe trauma. Since the fever starts with his allergies, it likely that they are related to this. Tonsillitis would be associated with sore throat and this is not likely the cause unless he complains of this symptom. You can use paracetamol or ibuprofen (if their history of allergy to these meds) to help with the fever. I hope this helps
