[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my late teens I used to get an annual respiratory infection.  Typically, Bronchitis but twice it escalated to pneumonia.  It was frustrating.

After many doctors, one told me that I likely had a mold allergy so once the leaves started coming off the trees I needed to start taking allergy pills before it could escalate to an infection.  Low and behold, no more annual respiratory infection.   That is not to say I never got one again but it turned out to be a simple solution.    Maybe it could be similar for your child OP. Has she been allergy tested?  Something is happening this time a year and isolating her with a quiet holiday is not helping.

OP here. You might be a medical super sleuth! We don’t live in DC, but in a region where fall is late. The trees start losing leaves a week or two before Thanksgiving and there are still a ton of trees with orange leaves that haven’t dropped yet. My DD spent all weekend raking and playing in leaves, and every adult in my family has tons of allergies…including leaf mold.

Interestingly, my Dd had the same mystery illness after family trips to two humid, visibly moldy countries in recent years. We assumed it was something she picked up on the plane but now I’m second-guessing everything.[/quote]

What about plants in the house too. [/quote]

Allergies would not cause a 103 degree fever, OP.[/quote]
