My Baby is 8months old. She underwent craniosynostosis (trigonocephaly)surgery 10days ago. And she started getting fever on the 3rd day after surgery. she gets it almost 4 to 5 times a day.Surgeons and the pediatricians at the hospital did all possible tests to see if she is infected with all possible common infections (including the spinal tap fluid test which came out with no infection and the count of white blood cells were just perfect. And other routine tests like blood test, ear, throat, urine, etc.. everything came out negative. They sent us back home stating that the fever is because of the inflammation after surgery. and they prescribed the tylenol and motrin for fever which should be continued till the fever reduces. Is it common to have fever for so long after surgery and my concern is for how many days will the fever contiue to take its place? doctors say that if the fever persists even after 2 weeks, they will do a ct scan of the whole body to find the mass of infection.

and both dogs died (of the exact same illness).... Could the baby die from it also even if her parents remained healthy? What if the house was evacuated and quarantined because of TOXIC BLACK MOLD SPORES? What do you think (or know)?

Hello! I'm not feeling to well. It started last night when I started feeling cold when nobody else was cold. Then, this morning, I woke up and felt sick. I had a sore throat, headache, fatigue, stuffy nose and I felt hot and then cold and then hot and then cold, etc. I also had some body aches. Its six o'clock and I'm freaking tired and I only got up at 8 (which is sleeping in for me!). My stomach feels kinda sore, not like I'm gonna be sick, just enough to make me feel sick. Anyways, I would appreciate your ideas on what I could have.

Thnx!

If you donate blood and say there is something wrong w/ it for example hepititis, hiv, etc. Would you receive a card in the mail stating your blood type your name, etc. or do you only receive this if your blood is clean?
