High temperature at least once a month

Hi all

My 3 yo daughter has been having a high temperature at least once or twice a month. It lasts for a day-2 days. No other symptoms. She has had 3 COVID tests in the last month due to high temperature. All negative. I know it's the time of year but My son is missing so much school due to self isolating and my husband started a new job just under a month ago (missed out on furlough). They have kept him on and the department open. He would have been furloughed if they could but are using the time to train him. However he is constantly off work self isolating.

DD has been prescribed more antibiotics for unknown infection- either ears or uti. The out of hours doctor is writing to our gp to request more tests; bladder/kidney scan and blood tests.

Anyone had any similar? It's driving me crazy!

Ds has had that.

At 3yo it was always his ears, but then when he was 8yo he had about 3 months of temperature/vomiting/extreme exhaustion for about 2 days every week.
They did every investigation they could think, but came up with nothing concrete. Most likely is that it started with tonsillitis and he basically had post-viral fatigue which meant he was much more susceptible to anything going.
Last year (4 years later) was the first year he hasn't had more time off school than in from January through to beginning of March.
It just seems that if he picks up any virus it goes to a temperature and when he gets a temperature he vomits (which means 48 hours off school to his delight).
If he gets into this cycle this year, I'm planning on pulling him out of school for the half term, as otherwise we're just going to spend the entire time isolating.
