Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing fever and headache without any cough, runny nose, or sore throat. I consulted a doctor who initially suspected dengue and advised me to take paracetamol. However, after receiving my lab report, it shows no signs of dengue. The concern is that for the past few days, my fever only goes down temporarily with paracetamol. What could be the cause, and what should I do next?

This could be a viral fever or post viral fatigue. Dengue ruled out is reassuring. Continue hydration and paracetamol as needed. Monitor temperature and energy levels.
