What Causes Persistent Fever Even After Taking Antibiotic?

I am a 47 year old female, healthy, except for flu-like symtoms 2 weeks ago that lasted 3 days. The low grade fever continues even now, worsening in the evening. I am taking doxyclin, and urine test yesterday showed epithelial cells above normal. My doctor seems stumped on what keeps the fever going.

Hi,
It requires evaluation of your case as there is constant fever since 15 days.
Go for,
1, complete blood checking like TC, DC, ESR, platelet count.
2, complete urine check up,
3, if require x-ray chest.
After all reports plan of treatment can be decided.
Meanwhile take light diet.
Take plenty of water and liquids.
Ok and take care.
