Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.

Widal titre of 1:160 is borderline. Consider changing antibiotic or doing blood culture if fever persists. Rule out other infections.

I get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?
