Having Severe Body Pain, Mild Fever. Blood And Urine Test Normal. Given Antibiotics And Voltaren. Worrisome

His medical history :
he does not drink alcohol but smokes little bit. He did not have any serious medical problems. He has been being treated by paroxetine and propanolol for his anxiety disorder for about 4 years. The only problem he had in the past, he had narrowness in his urethra and for that he had two small surgeries so that his urination wouldnt be painful.His last surgery was 3 years ago. He does fine about that. three weeks ago, he stayed at a hospital as a visitor a whole day while his wife was giving birth to their child and after two weeks of his hospital visit, he started having this body aches. Could it be possible that he got infected at the hospital. He is a proffessor at a college and his working conditions are pretty hygenic.
Thanks for writing your query.
Fever is usually associated with body-aches, due to biochemical changes in the muscles resulting in myalgia.
You should not worry. It will subside in few days after the infection and fever gets cured.
Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel will help in relief from pain.
Since the total white blood cell count is raised, it indicates presence of infection in the body.Taking broad spectrum antibiotic will treat any infection present in the body. The infection can be hospital acquired or can be due to infection in the urinary tract due to narrowing of the urethra.
You should get following investigations done :-
1. Repeat Complete Blood Count(CBC).
2. Urine Culture/Senstivity.
3. LFT.
You can continue giving him medicines prescribed by his doctor.
Reports of the investigations will help further in the management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be helpful to you.
Thanks.
