My husband has fever which keeps fluctuating. It does not go beyond 101 degrees C. He also complains of mild headache. Blood report was normal. He is under medication. I am worried. Is it just normal fever?

A fever that stays below 101 degrees C with mild headache and a normal blood report is likely viral. If it lasts more than 5 to 7 days, or new symptoms develop, consider seeing a doctor again. Keep up hydration and rest in the meantime.

I have a fever and did a test for malaria, but the result was negative. Yet, the doctor started malaria medication for 2 days. Is it okay to take it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have had a fever for the last 3 days. I tested for COVID, typhoid, and malaria, all are negative. When I take paracetamol, the fever goes down for 6 hours, then rises again to 101 degrees F. It is now the 4th day. What should I do? I have attached my blood test report. Please kindly help and suggest.

I tested COVID 19 positive on 24th April and received treatment from my doctor. My HRCT score was 3/25 on 26th April and repeated on 6th May, which remained 3/25. I recovered and tested negative on 11th May. My blood reports (CBC, CRP, D dimer) were normal and within range. I also did a CBC on 14th May, which was normal. However, I still feel a mild fever in the afternoon and at midnight, although my temperature stays below 98.6F, and I have no other symptoms. Could you please suggest why I might still be experiencing this mild fever?
