My 9 year old son has been experiencing fever, shivering, and cold symptoms for the past seven days, with the fever recurring during this time. Despite taking antibiotics, there has been no improvement. I have attached his blood report. What could be the possible cause of his condition?

Persistent fever may suggest a resistant infection or another cause like dengue or typhoid. Blood tests such as CBC, ESR, and a repeat culture can help identify the cause.

I have a fever and did a test for malaria, but the result was negative. Yet, the doctor started malaria medication for 2 days. Is it okay to take it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a low grade fever for the past two months, with temperatures ranging from 99.1 to 99.3F in the morning and evening. Is this something serious? My urine report and culture are normal. I am attaching my CBC, ESR, and typhoid test reports for your reference.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I consulted a doctor, and he said it is viral fever. My blood test report came normal, and he prescribed some medications. However, after taking the medicine, I feel better for about 3 to 4 hours, but after 6 to 7 hours, the fever returns with a severe headache that is hard to control.
