Hi, I was diagnosed with malaria 14 days ago and 2 days before, malaria was not detected in my blood report. I was discharged from the hospital. I am 68 years old. But even after discharge, I am still getting fever of 101 to 102 degrees C. Also, fever is observed only on the head, whereas the body is cold. Please suggest. Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Post malaria fever persisting after parasite clearance may be due to post viral syndrome or secondary infection. Since its localized to the head with chills, get a CBC, ESR, Malaria antigen repeat, and possibly Dengue/CRP test. Also consider brain imaging (CT/MRI) if neuro symptoms.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Malarial Test Test

I have been suffering from cold and cough, and for the past two days, I noticed blood in my cough. I went to the hospital, and the doctor advised a blood test, which came back negative except for a mild infection. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 and flu medicine. However, I am still coughing up blood 2 to 3 times. What should I do now?

I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?
