Since easy child had his gallbladder taken out last year I am super paranoid any time he gets any new symtom. Yesterday afteroon easy child claimed he was tired and had a headache and went to lay down. I was concerned so I felt his forehead. He was burning hot. I panicked and took his temperature right away. His temp was 101.5. easy child admitted to me that it has been hurting him for the last couple of days when he urinates. He says it doesn't burn. It's more like pain deep in his lower stomach when he goes.
I took him to the doctors today expecting it was a urinary tract infection. They took his temp and this morning he had no fever. To my surprise the urine dipstick test came back negative. So why the fever and the pain? His doctor sent his urine to the lab for further analysis and gave him some antibiotics and pain pills just in case. Meanwhile easy child is still having pain. I am super worried. I have read worst case scenarios on the internet like cancer or leukemia. I am really freaking myself out. Does anybody know what can cause high fevers to happen at random? I'm very worried.
