What cause headache and fever after diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome?
Patient: hello doctor,my friend's 4yr old son has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome n is on steroids,.he's been complaining of severe frontal region headache with constant low grade fever..what could be the reason?doctors say it can range from sinusitis to CVST...what do we do?can you pls suggest ur opinion? Doctor: Hi thanks for asking question.Noted your friends child diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome..So if it is associated with inflammation of glomerulus that is glomerulonephritis then also such symptoms do occur.And secondly yes if cough , cold , sore throat present and headache and fever might be from acute viral infection..Treat it symptomatically.If abdominal symptoms present then abdominal diseases like hepatitis can lead headache.The steroid also can lead to headache ...I hope my answer will helpful to you...Take care...
