Hi, I was diagnosed with malaria 14 days ago and 2 days before, malaria was not detected in my blood report. I was discharged from the hospital. I am 68 years old. But even after discharge, I am still getting fever of 101 to 102 degrees C. Also, fever is observed only on the head, whereas the body is cold. Please suggest. Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Post malaria fever persisting after parasite clearance may be due to post viral syndrome or secondary infection. Since its localized to the head with chills, get a CBC, ESR, Malaria antigen repeat, and possibly Dengue/CRP test. Also consider brain imaging (CT/MRI) if neuro symptoms.

My blood report shows low RBC (3.86) and vitamin deficiencies: Vitamin D 8.8 and Vitamin B12 132. What does this indicate, and could you please guide me on the next steps or treatment?

Sir I have checked my blood report in which platelets is 100 only but my health condition is normal. I have no fever, no bone or joint pain, and no tiredness. I do not understand what problem is there with me and my report is attached with it. I am in Rajkiya Engineering College Sonbhadra and I am a student of B Tech first year so I do not know which doctors or hospital is good near me. My home is Varanasi but I want to consult myself in Sonbhadra near Robertsganj. So please help me. Thank you.
