Hello,
Since, most of the investigations are normal, thus without being able to examine you directly, I can give you the following opinion:
- Most fevers encountered in general practice are viral, self-limiting and require only symptomatic treatment but since general measures and investigations are not giving desired results.
- Seek an opinion of Medicine specialist who will look [as a compulsory routine] for pallor, jaundice, abdomen for liver & spleen and auscultate the chest.
- If there is running epidemic, examples are malaria, influenza, viral hepatitis or typhoid in the locality, then that cause must be thought of first.
Though many of the fever in general practice are viral and harmless, one should always try to find the cause of the fever by evaluating the associated symptoms. If fever does not reduce within 3 to 4 days of empirical treatment, investigate in details or consult a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood
