Question

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.

You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.
