HelloSign degree fever may be due to these reasons, these include:1 Malaria, if resistant and not treated. So get in blood for slide for malarial parasite.2 Typhoid fever is common cause of high fever if associated with secondary infection as may be in your case (sore throat). Widal test and serology tests are for confirmation.3 Tuberculosis is another cause of such fever. Particularly fever is long duration and associated with cough.X-ray chest and blood for CBC, ESR are for lab tests beside if sputum present. However, there are so many other causes of high fever, as heat and humidity, secondary infection but don't worry leukemia is most uncommon cause of such fever. So in my opinion consult a primary care physician and get his opinion. Good luck.
