Have you got her into an appointment with the pediatrician? My previous boss's child had a similar issue with fevers and her child had a health condition. I am not saying that's the case, but it's worth checking into. While the cereal may be causing her stomach issues, I suggest taking her to the pediatrician to see if they can do tests to determine the cause of the fevers. Especially with that going on so long..If they can't figure it out, I strongly suggest getting a second opinion. The reason I say this is sometimes pediatricians may overlook things or may not have enough experience to make a proper diagnosis, and some parents don't know to get a second opinion. I ran into an issue with one when my youngest was an infant and the pediatrician I saw (who was not her normal doctor) tried to diagnose her with an ear infection (which isn't common with how young she was) and tried to put her on antibiotics (which the pharmacy flagged because it was too high of a dose and not one that was safe for her age). So when I was able to schedule the next day with her normal pediatrician, he was like no - the doctor misdiagnosed her and literally showed me through the otoscope that her ear drum looked normal). She just had a cold. So when in doubt, the best thing is to get a second opinion from another physician. I hope you little one gets feeling better soon!
