question: My 17-mo old granddaughter has been sick for a week with fever ranging from 99.8 to 103.1 we took her to the doctor and were told that she had a viral infection and pink eye.  Today I noticed that her gums are red and inflammed and her appitite is extremely poor.  She is only eating about once a day and drinking very little fluids.  She is urinating but not as much as usual.  Yesterday she slept about 20 out of 24 hours.  The dr. did a UA and said that there is no infection but did not take blood for testing.  I am really worried that there is something more serious wrong with her, and dont know what to do.  My daughter has Kaiser and they wont approve her to be seen by another doctor.
