I have been having unexplained bleeding for almost two weeks. It was slowing down but now it's picked back up. I had an infection and used medication for that, but the blood went from barely noticeable to a lot more. I am 24 years old and have been prone to UTIs. I also had a miscarriage about two months ago. Are there any other factors I should consider or tests I should undergo?

Our 5-year-old has had a fever of 100.8 since 1am, along with chills and stomach pain. We have been giving him Tylenol, but the fever is not breaking. How long has your 5-year-old had the fever? Besides the fever, does he also have a cough or chills? Anything else in his medical history you think the Doctor should know?
