Question 1

My father is 77 years old and has been a COPD patient for the past 20 years, under regular medication. Recently, he has been experiencing chills and shivering in the evenings and at night, along with sweating. His blood report suggests oedema in the liver and kidneys. He is currently taking antibiotics for bacterial infections along with paracetamol, but there has been no improvement. Could you please explain the possible reasons for his condition, what further tests might be needed, and what medications or treatments should be considered?

Question 2

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
