Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.

Widal titre of 1:160 is borderline. Consider changing antibiotic or doing blood culture if fever persists. Rule out other infections.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

What blood test shows inflammation?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello, I have deficiencies in both vitamin D and B12. When I take supplements, my levels improve, but if I stop the medicine even for a month, the levels drop again. Why does this happen, and what can I do to maintain normal vitamin levels?

I tested positive for COVID 19 and received my report on the 24th. Since then, I have been taking my medications regularly. However, I am still experiencing weakness and occasional fever. I do not have any issues with appetite or meals, I am eating normally. My case has been classified as mild. I am 30 years old and weigh 57 kg. Do I need to go for any further tests, or is this normal during recovery from mild COVID?
