I have a fever and did a test for malaria, but the result was negative. Yet, the doctor started malaria medication for 2 days. Is it okay to take it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Malaria tests can sometimes be negative in early infection or with low parasite levels. If your doctor suspects malaria based on symptoms and region, starting treatment is reasonable. Complete the full course of malaria medication as prescribed to prevent complications. Monitor for worsening symptoms like high fever, weakness, or yellowing of eyes. If fever persists after treatment, you can book a Repeat Malaria Test and CBC to reassess.

View allI am experiencing a fever of 102F, severe upper back pain, persistent cough, and chest pain. I have undergone an RTPCR test and have attached my blood report. Additionally, I am dealing with leg cramps and a high pulse rate.

I have had a fever of 99 to 100 degrees F for the past 10 days, along with headache and body ache. My CBC report shows leukocytes 8100/cu.mm, neutrophils 60 percent, lymphocytes 34 percent, eosinophils 2 percent, monocytes 4 percent, basophils 0 percent, hemoglobin 12.4 percent, and MPV 11.4. My typhoid tests are normal, and serum bilirubin is 1.08. What could this indicate?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I am a 27 year old female working professional. I go to the office at 5 PM and return home around 3 AM. I have been experiencing a fever every night, with temperatures around 100 to 101F, which goes away in the morning. I also feel extremely tired, with constant muscle aches and fatigue. I have undergone tests for typhoid and a CBC, which were normal, but the nightly fever has persisted for the last 3 to 4 months. Additionally, I have experienced significant unintentional weight loss. I am unsure what to do next. Could you please advise?
