After a high fever, I have severe itching that I am unable to control. All night and day I do not get a single moment of relief. A blood test report shows hemoglobin 10.4 gm percent and ESR (Wintrobe) 38 mm/st. There are no malaria or dengue symptoms. The physician said it is one of the typhoid symptoms, but in typhoid there should not be an itching problem. What could this be?

Persistent itching post fever with raised ESR and low Hb may point to post viral inflammation or early liver/kidney issue. Please take a LFT, RFT, and CBC.

I am a 47 year old female and have been suffering from mild fever for the last 15 days. The fever is around 99.0 to 99.3, gets normal in the morning, and returns during the day. I have done all tests, and there is no urine infection or any problem in the blood tests. What could be the reason for this?
