Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have read your query carefully and understand your concern. I appreciate your effort to seek help here.
Since the fever has persisted for more than 2 weeks, it is a must to get yourself examined properly by a physician to rule out Typhoid, Malaria, pneumonia etc.
A complete blood workup is required and hospitalisation will be required.
In my honest opinion, it is best to go to the ER and get yourself examined and treated urgently.
I hope you will recover soon.
Warm regards.
