Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing fever and headache without any cough, runny nose, or sore throat. I consulted a doctor who initially suspected dengue and advised me to take paracetamol. However, after receiving my lab report, it shows no signs of dengue. The concern is that for the past few days, my fever only goes down temporarily with paracetamol. What could be the cause, and what should I do next?

My father has a wet cough and seems weak. His blood report shows neutrophilic leucocytosis, and his lymphocyte count is 12.3. Is this a serious condition, or is it a normal response to a cold?
