[28F] Experiencing daily fever and unexplained bruising

What might be happening

Based on the information provided, the following conditions could be causing your symptoms:

• Infectious Diseases: Certain infectious diseases can cause both fever and bruising. These include diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some examples are Dengue fever, Malaria, and certain types of bacterial infections.

  • Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying infection with appropriate medications, such as antibiotics or antiviral drugs.

• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions such as Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis can cause both fever and bruising. These conditions occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body.

  • Treatment usually involves medications to suppress the immune system and manage symptoms.

• Blood Disorders: Conditions that affect the blood, such as Leukemia or Thrombocytopenia, can also cause fever and bruising. These conditions can affect the body's ability to clot blood, leading to bruising.

  • Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying blood disorder, which may include medications, blood transfusions, or in some cases, bone marrow transplant.

What you can do

Given the duration and nature of your symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare professional can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary.

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
