Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: There are many reasons for recurring fever, one of them is malaria

Explanation: As I said there are many reasons for repeated fever/prolonged fever, one of them is malaria. So any doctor has to rule our all the diseases which can cause prolonges fever with battery of investigations before diagnosing properly.
so, my sincere advise is to visit the same doctor whom you visited first to treat you better this time.
Good luck
