My father is 77 years old and has been a COPD patient for the past 20 years, under regular medication. Recently, he has been experiencing chills and shivering in the evenings and at night, along with sweating. His blood report suggests oedema in the liver and kidneys. He is currently taking antibiotics for bacterial infections along with paracetamol, but there has been no improvement. Could you please explain the possible reasons for his condition, what further tests might be needed, and what medications or treatments should be considered?

Symptoms suggest ongoing infection or organ stress. Liver and kidney edema may point to fluid overload or systemic illness. Further tests like CRP, creatinine, LFT, chest Xray, and ECG are advised.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test
