Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Okay, it's going on over two weeks now, and Maddie is still running a fever everyday. Her fever goes up and down throughout the day and is always lower than 100.5, which I believe is considered low grade. She's been through two courses of antibiotic (Keflex) to treat the staph infection on her foot, from a pressure sore. She's been to the pediatrician, her orthopedist and Children's hospital ER in the past two weeks. The sore looks better than it initially did, but it still hasn't healed. So far, no one seems to think the staph infection is that bad, but she doesn't show any other symptoms of any other illness. Should she still be running a low grade fever. She turns 4 months tomorrow. I also know she doesn't have a UTI because they catheterized her at the ER, and she tested clean. Am I just being a nervous mother, or should I be concerned. No one has actually given her a blood test to see what strain of Staph she has. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. - Michele 5/18/02 and Maddie 9/6/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
