I keep getting fevers?

(repost w/ more details) I am 14 and I keep getting fevers. They only last a couple of hours and they happen about 3 times a week. This has been going on for roughly a month (give or take). I already posted this and some people said STD's but considering I'm not sexually active, I consider that doubtful. My mom has cancer, and my dad is a jerk, so it has to be something REALLY bad for me to have to tell them. No joke, last year I broke my arm and they wouldn't take me to get an X-ray and made me swim in swim champs. I also have been having really bad headaches/migraines, but this also could be from stress, right? Please don't just says AHHHH GO TO THE DOCTOR. Because, as much as I love that advice, I need somewhat of an idea about what it could be. Obviously it could be a billion different things, but if you could possibly just suggest some that would be awesome. Thanks! (sorry this is so long!)

    First off, I'd need to know exactly what your temperatures have been. I'm a health care provider and I need to deal with facts. Tell me the temperatures and I'll determine if they're fevers. Assuming for the moment that they are, I suppose it's possible that you're having intermittent quartan fevers. These occur once every 3 days but as you've said they occur 3 times a week and haven't given any pattern other than that, I can't be certain. Don't call your headaches migraines unless you've been diagnosed with migraine headaches by a doctor.

    "No joke, last year I broke my arm and they wouldn't take me to get an X-ray and made me swim in swim champs." -- Be careful. You're publicly accusing your parents of both neglect and abuse. Be sure you mean this.

    "Please don't just says AHHHH GO TO THE DOCTOR. Because, as much as I love that advice, I need somewhat of an idea about what it could be" -- You're asking for speculation and I fail to see how that will help you. Having some idea what this could be shouldn't prevent you from seeking medical care and I hope it won't.

    I'm terribly sorry about your mother and I regret that you're angry with your father. However, until I know more about the fevers and any other symptoms, there's not much I can offer. I agree with you that the headaches may be due to stress and anxiety. The things you mentioned in your post suggest both. I realize you won't find this very helpful and for that I apologize but I can't work without info -- I can't pull rabbits out of hats.
