This confirms iron deficiency anemia. Continue iron tablets with meals. If fever continues, rule out infection. Use antacids like rabeprazole if there is gastric irritation.

Hello Doctors, i am attaching my blood report and listing my symptoms. I have been suffering from fever for the past four days, only at night, along with muscle aches during the night. My daytime temperature and condition are normal. Could you please clarify whether this is a normal fever or typhoid?
