After completing treatment for malaria with Doxycycline and Artesunate, my fever still has not gone away. My temperature ranges between 99 to 102. All my blood reports are normal except for the Widal test, as you can see in the report. I also took Ofloxacin for 10 days, but the fever persists. In addition, my digestion is becoming weak. Could this be something else?

Persistent fever despite treatment could suggest enteric (typhoid) fever, resistant malaria, or post-infectious fever. Since Widal is positive, typhoid is likely. Avoid self medication. See a doctor for further antibiotics based on culture if needed.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having a little cough sensation on the first day and the next day I immediately developed fever, shivering, and headache. The doctor has suggested a few medicines and I am taking them. I did some blood tests by self reference. Could you check the attached reports and let me know whether it is a normal viral or bacterial infection or any other issue?

I would like to understand what a peripheral smear means in a blood report. Could you please let me know if it indicates a serious problem? Also, kindly suggest if there is any specific diet that should be followed. I have attached my report for your reference.
