My 2 year 10 month old child has been having fever for the last 4 days. We did CBC and urine tests, which were normal, and dengue and malaria tests, which were negative. The fever subsided on the 5th day but returned on the 6th day, with the child head and body feeling very hot and temperatures above 101F. After taking Paracetamol 250 mg, the temperature temporarily reduced, but it rises again after about 6 hours.

If your childs fever keeps returning despite normal tests and medicine, it may be due to a viral infection or early bacterial illness that hasnt shown in earlier reports. Since the fever is persisting past 5 days and returning after medicine wears off, its important to follow up with your pediatrician. They may suggest further tests like Typhoid IgM, CRP, or even a blood culture to rule out infections. Keep your child well hydrated and avoid giving medicine more frequently than advised.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Typhidot Test Test

I had a fever for a few days, and my recent test results indicate typhoid fever at a late stage, but I have not started any treatment yet. My Widal test results are as follows, S.T.O is 1:320, S.T.H is 1:160, S.T.AH is 1:160, S.T.BH is 1:80. Please advise on the next steps for treatment.

Last month I got sick with a mild sore throat followed by high fever. I started taking antibiotics for the sore throat, but the fever and body pain continued. After a week, my doctor did a Widal test, which was positive, and prescribed Cyproxin for 2 weeks, suspecting typhoid. I felt better during treatment, but only for one week after stopping the antibiotics, and now I am sick again with low body temperature (36.2C) and fatigue. Other tests including CBC, thyroid, kidney, malaria, and liver function are normal. What could be causing my recurring illness, and what should I do?
