My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.

I got my leg rod removed a month back and from the past few days I am experiencing full sleepiness, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, and sometimes blurry vision. I have attached my blood report taken before surgery. Is any deficiency causing these symptoms. I suffer from GERD with mild hiatus hernia for a few years. I also suffer from frequent UTI. What medication should I take to overcome this problem. Is it due to anemia that all this is happening?
