Fever persisting despite ofloxacin needs review. Check CBC, ESR, CRP, blood culture, and consider typhoid test or TB workup if indicated. Avoid overusing antibiotics blindly.

Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

I have had a fever for the last 3 days. I tested for COVID, typhoid, and malaria, all are negative. When I take paracetamol, the fever goes down for 6 hours, then rises again to 101 degrees F. It is now the 4th day. What should I do? I have attached my blood test report. Please kindly help and suggest.

I am attaching my report. Is it normal after C section? It has been a week only. Also I am having fever 100 degrees F. Or are there chances of covid?

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.
