Your doctor has done the initial investigations correctly - as Covid ,Dengue , Malaria , Typhoid are the common causes of Fever in the community If none of these are positive, we need to find the focus of infection and hence it needs further evaluation Do you have the CBC report ? What's the level of WBCs / Leukocytes? Also is the blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity sent ? Is there any Urinary Symptoms like - Burning sensation while passing urine or frequent urge to pass urine ? Is there h/o Cough ? Anyways consult a physician near by who will help you with detailed evaluation / treatment Also if you still continue to have doubts you can consult me on Practo App Wishing your mother a speedy recovery
