My father received the Covaxin vaccine on 3rd April. For the past 15 days, he has had a fever ranging from 99 to 101F, which is partially relieved with Crocin. COVID antigen and RTPCR tests were negative. He is also experiencing shortness of breath (28 breaths per minute). His recent blood reports show: RBC: 2.1 million/microlitre Hemoglobin: 9.2 g/dl WBC: 14.4 by 10000/microlitre CRP: 217 Serum creatinine: 3.21 mg/dl Iron: 24 microgram/dl Bilirubin direct: 0.6 mg/dl Urine report is normal, with no pus or abnormalities, and he has no issues while passing urine. Could his continuous fever, shortness of breath, and anemia be due to kidney problems? Please advise what could be causing these symptoms and the next steps for evaluation and treatment.

High CRP and creatinine with anemia and low RBC indicate possible kidney infection or sepsis. Needs urgent hospital care and nephrologist consult.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a CREATININE - SERUM Test

I had a fever, took medicine, and recovered. However, I got fever again after 8 days (102F). I consulted a doctor who prescribed medication, but my fever persists around 100 to 101F. I underwent several tests: Typhidot IgM: Negative Blood culture: Negative CBC: Normal The doctor prescribed Taxim O and Calpol 500, and the fever subsided for 3 days but then returned to the same temperature. I switched to another doctor who ran further tests: Thyroid (T3, T4, TSH): Normal C reactive protein: Positive (43 mg/L) Liver function tests: Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL, Direct bilirubin 0.23 mg/dL, ALT/SGPT 79 IU/L Currently, when I take paracetamol, the fever reduces temporarily, but it returns after 5 to 6 hours. What could be the cause of this persistent low grade fever, and what should be the next steps?
