Suggest Remedies For Recurring Fever, Dry Cough And Extreme Fatigue
I have had a fever off and on since about the first week of September. I had a cough that produced mucus for a couple weeks. It s gotten better , but dry. I have been very fatigued for a few weeks now. I was off the prior two weeks.to rest but returned to.work this week. I was treated with a steroid pack and.doxycycline. Seemed to help but tonight I am running a fever again, 100.2. Hospital drew blood and ran a cat scan on my abdomen, nothing. White cell was at about 11000. Went to Dr twice. Did chest x ray, blood cultures. Nothing. Lymph nodes got sore this week and am.now very fatigued. Help me!
I suggest you get a complete hemogram and post the report of same on HCM forum for interpretation. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) should also be done to know the status of lung functions. Lymph nodes enlargement needs to be investigated by performing a fine needle aspiration. In the meanwhile, I suggest you take an analgesic (fever lowering drug like paracetamol) and steam to control the cough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
