I am suffering from fever, headache, and body pains including joint pains. I went to the hospital and after taking medicine I am feeling better, but I have a doubt whether my fever is normal or viral. The doctor prescribed a few blood tests but all test results are normal. My symptoms do not seem like a normal fever. Please suggest, what is this?

If CBC, Dengue, Typhoid tests are normal, it is likely a viral fever. Viral fevers present with body pain, fatigue, and joint aches. Continue rest, fluids, and prescribed meds. Recovery takes 5 to7 days. Repeat CBC and CRP only if symptoms worsen or fever persists beyond 4 to5 days.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Book CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test Book CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test
