Lately, I've been having this recurring fever for about a month and a half now, and along with it, there's been this nagging joint and body pain. It's really starting to worry me. Could you advise on what kind of tests I should consider getting done?

Get a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for any signs of infection or inflammation in your body. Additionally, a test for dengue fever or chikungunya may also be considered based on your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious if the joint pain I'm experiencing now could be related to my low platelet issue from 4 to 5 weeks ago. Everything else feels pretty good, but this pain is bothering me. What could be the cause?

not related to low platelets

I'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?

Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.
