My daughter has been having fever for the last 13 days, occurring two to three times a day. She feels cold before the fever starts. After taking Crocin, her temperature comes down, but it rises again to around 100 to 101F. Her urine report is normal. She has already taken a 3 day course of antibiotics, but the fever persists. I would like guidance on what should be done next.

Fever more than 7 days with cold chills and no source despite antibiotics needs further evaluation for typhoid, dengue, or TB. Persistent fever is not normal.

Question

I consulted a doctor, and he said it is viral fever. My blood test report came normal, and he prescribed some medications. However, after taking the medicine, I feel better for about 3 to 4 hours, but after 6 to 7 hours, the fever returns with a severe headache that is hard to control.

Question

I 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.

Question

I have been experiencing fever and body pain for the last 10 days. Since the past 2 days, I have developed breathing difficulties. My SpO2 is 92percent, and my pulse rate ranges between 70 to 85. Recent tests show CRP at 39.1 mg perL, Ferritin at 215.4 ng per mL, Random blood sugar is 124 mg per dL, Chest Xray done, and RTPCR has not been done yet. Should I start any additional medicines or go for an RTPCR test? I am hesitant to do the test and feeling hopeless.
