Chronic Fevers

Hi Everyone, So I honestly don't think this has anything to do with my sleeve but at this point I am really desperate for some answers. I will start at the beginning which was December 29th with a massive tooth infection and fever so I had that tooth pulled then got another tooth infection and had a root canal so that got fixed. Then the infection moved into my lungs so needless to say more antibiotics. I am 14 months out lost all of my weight and then some and doing great in the weight loss area.
Since December 29th until present I have been on 7 different antibiotics and have had a fever each and every day since so that makes it almost 5 months straight. My Dr. is doing everything she can and we still can't figure it out. I had a CT scan on my lungs and the results were perfect aside from being inflamed from coughing up crap for 5 months now. I had a Pulmonology test (ie:breathing test) done came out normal, she now has me seeing a pulminologist specialist so waiting for the call to make an appointment. I honestly don't know what they are looking for or what the point is if the test came back normal. My regular Gastric Sleeve blood work was done in March and I got an A+ across the board so they are saying it doesn't have anything to do with cell count. My fevers come and go all day long between 99 - 101 now keep in mind I am normal at 97.5.
So long story short fevers every single day maybe I get a day off once in a blue moon. I push myself to live as normal as possible and clean my house, take care of my family, Work my job, go shopping etc. etc.. I will not allow myself to lay in bed all day even though that's what I feel like doing but this has become such a way of life for me that I have no choice but to keep it moving. I am just curious if there are any Nurses or Drs. on here that may have any ideas at all as to what could be causing this. I know my Dr. is doing everything she can but I am really starting to become very impatient. I am also going on vacation out of the country at the end of June and I am concerned that one I will feel like crap the whole time and two should I even be traveling. This is solely something in my body because not one person that I have been around has caught this.
I hope I explained this clearly and any and all advice / suggestions are more than welcome. I do apologize that this doesn't have anything to do with the sleeve but I am just that desperate for answers. Thank you all so much!!!
