Question 1

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?

Question 2

Patchy inflammation in both upper lobes as I was detected covid positive twenty days earlier. Now my report is negative but I still have some heaviness in the chest. CRP is 11.10 and IL6 is 23.58. Should I go for steroids as suggested by doctors or should I wait and manage with steaming and turmeric milk. Will I recover on my own?

Question 3

I have had a fever for the past 5 days, around 101F in the morning and night, along with body pain and cough. I have been taking antibiotics and Dolo, but the fever is not going away. My recent blood test shows a C reactive protein (CRP) level of 46. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please check it and advise if something is wrong and what I should do next?

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.

High anti CCP strongly suggests rheumatoid arthritis. CRP also indicates active inflammation. RA factor is borderline. Consult a rheumatologist for treatment to prevent joint damage.
