I'm a bit confused about my health situation. I took my temperature with a thermometer, and it reads 98.7. I'm worried I might have an internal fever, but Im not entirely sure. Could you tell me what the temperature range for an internal fever usually is?

Internal fever, also known as occult fever, can manifest with normal body temperature readings (98.6-99.5F or 37-37.5C) despite the presence of an underlying infection or inflammation; in such cases, other symptoms like fatigue, chills, sweating, or localized pain may be present

Question

I'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?
