toddler has had a fever ( ONLY symptom, until petechiae) on and off for 3 weeks?
Question:
they think just and infection somewhere, put him on antibiotics and are watching him ?? I am not buying the infection thing. Anyone have any thoughts.
When I posted yesterday he had already been seen by his PCP twice and I was awaiting his call to see what to do, the purpric spots had just developed. Thanks to the ones who were nice with their answers !
Answers:
CRP is a pretty accurate indication that there is an infection active. The rash may be associated with a strep infection, but I suspect your doctor may want to repeat a CBC to check for other signs that can pinpoint the problem.

Kids get a lot of fuo's. Fevers of unknown origin. The pediatrician is the expert. If yours doesn't give you any satisfaction, seek another opinion.
Petechiae? What is his platelet count? Have they done a lumbar puncture?
I would suggest taking him to a pediatric infectious disease doctor. Bless his heart. I hope everything turns out fine. Good luck.
