Hello, Thank you for writing to us, Fevers always prompt you to visit your doctor for an evaluation. Different fevers are there like below. Temperatures greater than 99-100.4 F are considered low grade fevers, Temperatures 100.4-102 F are typical fevers, and Anything greater than 102 is considered a high grade fever. Though infection is the most common cause of fevers, they can also be caused by hematologic conditions (joints, etc.), cancers, blood clots, medications, and autoimmune conditions. Though there is no way to know for sure without doing test. I recommend you see a physician about your fevers. Cyclical fevers (those that go away and come back) can be seen in malaria, babesiosis (a tick born infection similar to malaria), as well as many hematologic conditions, including one known as cyclical fever syn Chat Doctor.  Any case, it needs Treatment. So, I will suggest contacting your doctor for detailed help. Thanks &
