What Causes Persistent High Fever And Cough?

Hi doctor, my brother has been having high fever, a cough and flu for 4 days. I saw that his urine was somewhat dark with little traces of blood(he forgot to flush the toilet). After he took some antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, his urine was still dark , he said it was darker than yesterday. Should I be worried ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent high fever and cough which could be due to urinary tract infection as you have traces of blood and color changes of urine as well. It could be due to
viral infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis and respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for blood and urine tests for confirmation of diagnosis. Drink plenty of water. Take antibiotic along with cough expectorant and NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Chew vitamin C pellet daily. Take multivitamin tablet as well to booster immunity. Avoid excessive oily food and cold beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
