Brief Answer:
Avoid combiflam.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for providing more information.
Combiflam or other NSAIDs should be avoided as they can be harmful if dengue is present.
So avoid taking them. You can take paracetamol 650 mg, instead, if fever is recurring after 500 mg of paracetamol.
Drink lots of water and eat proper meals.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC).
2. Liver Function Test (LFT).
3. Dengue test.
4. Malaria Antigen Test.
5. Typhoid (IgG, IgM, IgA).
6. Urine examination (Routine/Microscopic and Culture/Sensitivity).
A clinical examination by your doctor will further help.
I hope this answers your query. If you have any further doubts, please mention.
Thanks.
