There seems to be a space of one to two weeks between the fevers. Sometimes she feels like throwing up and other times she doesn t. Today she has a fever of 101. We ve gone to her pediatrician, nothing showed up on blood tests, except an elevated c blood protein. Nothing on urine tests or fecal matter. More blood and urine tests are being done, we had them done on Friday, however I m getting concerned that she might have the beginnings of appendicitis. What do you think? Doctor: your graddaughtr seams to have chronic gastrointestinal infection . however it is diffuclt some times to treat such infections orally .it is better to treat with intravenous antibiotic .and IV fluids. regarding appendicits abdominal scan along with blood counts will click the diagnosis
