My wife had dengue fever last week and was hospitalized. She was discharged 3 days ago, but this morning she developed a fever again. We gave her Dolo 650 as per the doctor suggestion, which reduced the fever, but it returns whenever she sleeps and wakes up. We did a CBC test today: Hemoglobin 10.4, RBC normal, Platelets 295, WBC 14.5. I am concerned, does she need to be hospitalized again? Please advise

High WBC (14.5) post dengue may suggest infection. Fever with sleep needs recheck. Hospital visit recommended.

The patient has been suffering from fever for 6 days, along with body aches, especially in the legs, weakness, chills, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Dengue NS1 and Dengue IgM/IgG tests are non reactive. The latest CBC and dengue test reports are attached. Urine analysis shows pus cells 10 to 12/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Previous test results were: TLC 8,000/cumm, neutrophils 85 percent, lymphocytes 8 percent, and ESR 26 mm/hr.

I am a 47 year old female and have been suffering from mild fever for the last 15 days. The fever is around 99.0 to 99.3, gets normal in the morning, and returns during the day. I have done all tests, and there is no urine infection or any problem in the blood tests. What could be the reason for this?
