Hi I have a nine year old daughter that had a blood test on Wednesday and the doctor call me and said she has Glandular Fever. Since then she had had very high temps arount 40 c and gets the sweats and chills through out the day and night. She gets very pale and shivers for hours unless she has some form of medication to reduce the temp.  Can you tell me if this is normal for glandular fever or it sounds like there might be a baterial infection and I should go to the emerg dept.
