From last 2 days I am suffering from constant fever above 100. I have done my CBC and Malarial parasite test but the reports were normal. There is a little headache also. Whenever I take paracetamol advised by a doctor, fever goes down but it becomes hign again after some time. What should I do?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
malaria is not the only test you need.
i would suggest you repeat the complete blood count and get a urine complete along with tidal and dengue serology also done.
consult a general physician in person with the reports for further evaluation and management.
Best regards,

Please get a total fever profile done. Your tests are not complete.
The profile should also include Dengue Serology and blood and urine culture and Typhidot.

Repeat a CBC with a platelet count. Take a broad spectrum antibiotic like cefixime and take mefenamic acid 500 mg if fever does not subside with paracetamol
