Question

I've been feeling really under the weather with flu-like symptoms for the past few days. One of my coworkers just got diagnosed with swine flu. Should I be worried and get tested for it too?

If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and were in close contact with someone diagnosed with swine flu, it might be a good idea to get tested, especially if your symptoms worsen or persist. It's always better to be cautious, and a test can help you manage your health more effectively.

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?

Question
