My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.

May be viral, occult infection, or periodic fever syndrome. If no improvement, pediatrician may advise repeat labs or imaging (chest Xray, abdominal USG).
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having a little cough sensation on the first day and the next day I immediately developed fever, shivering, and headache. The doctor has suggested a few medicines and I am taking them. I did some blood tests by self reference. Could you check the attached reports and let me know whether it is a normal viral or bacterial infection or any other issue?

I am a patient of endometriosis and panic anxiety disorder. I have been taking Dienogest for 2.5 years to control my endometriosis cysts, and over time the cysts are decreasing in size. My right ovarian cyst is 1 cm and my left ovarian cyst is 3.5 cm. For panic anxiety, my doctor gave me some blood tests and prescribed Rexipro 5 mg. After taking this medication, I no longer have anxiety problems and I feel almost normal. My test reports are as follows: T3: 0.97 ng/mL (0.58 to 1.59), T4: 7.34 mg/dL (4.87 to 11.72), TSH: 1.68 IU/mL (0.35 to 4.94), Glucose Fasting Plasma: 89 mg/dL (74 to 109), Urea: 13 mg/dL (17 to 43), Creatinine: 0.59 mg/dL (<0.95). My CBC results are mostly normal except the following: Hemoglobin: 13.7 gm/dL (11 to 14), Total Leucocyte Count: 12,000 /cumm (4000 to 11000), HCT: 43.2 Vol percent (33 to 42), RBC: 5.01 millions/cumm (3.8 to 4.8), MCHC: 31.7 gm/dL (32 to 36), Neutrophils: 80 percent (40 to 75), Lymphocytes: 17 percent (20 to 40), Monocytes: 1 percent (2 to 8), ESR: 30 mm (2 to 17). I am worried about some of my CBC parameters. Why are they not normal? Please help.
