My daughter has been having fever for the last 13 days, occurring two to three times a day. She feels cold before the fever starts. After taking Crocin, her temperature comes down, but it rises again to around 100 to 101F. Her urine report is normal. She has already taken a 3 day course of antibiotics, but the fever persists. I would like guidance on what should be done next.

Fever more than 7 days with cold chills and no source despite antibiotics needs further evaluation for typhoid, dengue, or TB. Persistent fever is not normal.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a WIDAL TEST (SLIDE METHOD ) Test or Take a DENGUE NS1 ANTIGEN Test

Book WIDAL TEST (SLIDE METHOD ) Test Book DENGUE NS1 ANTIGEN Test

I tested COVID 19 positive on 24th April and received treatment from my doctor. My HRCT score was 3/25 on 26th April and repeated on 6th May, which remained 3/25. I recovered and tested negative on 11th May. My blood reports (CBC, CRP, D dimer) were normal and within range. I also did a CBC on 14th May, which was normal. However, I still feel a mild fever in the afternoon and at midnight, although my temperature stays below 98.6F, and I have no other symptoms. Could you please suggest why I might still be experiencing this mild fever?

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 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.
