Lately, I've been having this recurring fever for about a month and a half now, and along with it, there's been this nagging joint and body pain. It's really starting to worry me. Could you advise on what kind of tests I should consider getting done?

Get a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for any signs of infection or inflammation in your body. Additionally, a test for dengue fever or chikungunya may also be considered based on your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) results. I recently got tested, and my ESR came back at 27 mmhr, which I hear is 7 mmhr above the normal range for males. Should I be worried about this higher rate? And what could cause my ESR to be elevated like this? Would love some clarity.

I've been struggling with joint pain for the past 10 days and my doctor mentioned it might be due to a calcium deficiency. He suggested taking calcitas powder twice a day.
