My father has been suffering from fever for the past 14 days. Two days ago, his blood test confirmed typhoid fever, and the doctor advised continuing the same medication. However, his fever persists continuously at 102 to 104F. I am very worried and tense about his condition. Please advise what should be done now, what he should eat, and how to take care of him during this fever.

Persistent high fever in typhoid can indicate resistant strain or complications. Immediate re evaluation and blood culture are necessary.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

I am a 47 year old female and have been suffering from mild fever for the last 15 days. The fever is around 99.0 to 99.3, gets normal in the morning, and returns during the day. I have done all tests, and there is no urine infection or any problem in the blood tests. What could be the reason for this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

After a high fever, I have severe itching that I am unable to control. All night and day I do not get a single moment of relief. A blood test report shows hemoglobin 10.4 gm percent and ESR (Wintrobe) 38 mm/st. There are no malaria or dengue symptoms. The physician said it is one of the typhoid symptoms, but in typhoid there should not be an itching problem. What could this be?
