I have had a fever for the last 3 days. I tested for COVID, typhoid, and malaria, all are negative. When I take paracetamol, the fever goes down for 6 hours, then rises again to 101 degrees F. It is now the 4th day. What should I do? I have attached my blood test report. Please kindly help and suggest.

Likely viral fever. If fever persists beyond 5 to 6 days, repeat blood tests. Monitor symptoms, rest, and stay hydrated. Get done CRP and dengue labs.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Dengue Profile - Elisa Test

Book CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test Book Dengue Profile - Elisa Test

Question

I tested COVID 19 positive on 24th April and received treatment from my doctor. My HRCT score was 3/25 on 26th April and repeated on 6th May, which remained 3/25. I recovered and tested negative on 11th May. My blood reports (CBC, CRP, D dimer) were normal and within range. I also did a CBC on 14th May, which was normal. However, I still feel a mild fever in the afternoon and at midnight, although my temperature stays below 98.6F, and I have no other symptoms. Could you please suggest why I might still be experiencing this mild fever?

Question

I am experiencing a fever of 102F, severe upper back pain, persistent cough, and chest pain. I have undergone an RTPCR test and have attached my blood report. Additionally, I am dealing with leg cramps and a high pulse rate.

Question

I have been experiencing fever and body pain for the last 10 days. Since the past 2 days, I have developed breathing difficulties. My SpO2 is 92percent, and my pulse rate ranges between 70 to 85. Recent tests show CRP at 39.1 mg perL, Ferritin at 215.4 ng per mL, Random blood sugar is 124 mg per dL, Chest Xray done, and RTPCR has not been done yet. Should I start any additional medicines or go for an RTPCR test? I am hesitant to do the test and feeling hopeless.
