I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?

View allI'm really concerned about my father's health because for the past two or three days, he's been feeling 'komppan' in his entire body during the afternoons into the evenings. We're trying to understand what kind of issue this might be and which type of specialist we should see about it. We're based in Greater Noida NCR. Do you think we need to get a complete body health checkup done? Any advice would be appreciated.
The symptoms you described, where your father experiences generalized body aching (komppan) in the afternoons and evenings, could be indicative of various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even a viral infection; consider consulting a General Physician or an Orthopedician in Greater Noida (NCR) for an initial evaluation; a complete body health checkup may be beneficial in identifying underlying conditions, and your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or an ECG, to determine the cause of the symptoms.

I'm currently on some ayurvedic medicine, but I'm running a fever of 102. Is it okay to take paracetamol with it to help bring my fever down? I'm just a bit worried about mixing them.
Yes, you can take paracetamol for fever even after using Ayurvedic medicine, as there are no significant interactions. However, it's always good to consult your doctor to ensure there are no specific contraindications with your current Ayurvedic treatment. Stay hydrated and rest well.
