I'm really worried about this situation. She's been having a fever for the last 3 months, and it only goes down when she takes Crocin. Otherwise, it just stays there. She's had a lot of tests done like blood tests, X-Ray, Ultrasound, and even checked her Hemoglobin levels, and everything seems normal. But there are still some symptoms pointing to an internal infection. Can you please help us figure out what's going on?
It sounds like shes been dealing with persistent fever for the past three months, and while her tests have come back normal, there could still be an underlying infection. Its important to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, as they might need to look deeper into possible internal causes.
