Brief Answer:
If fever returns, it requires to be investigated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Fever for ten days is likely to be due to an infection, probably bacterial.
You were dehydrated from the fluid loss which accompanies fever and that is the reason for the low diastolic blood pressure and the reason for your passing out.
The normal temperature now may be due to the Ibuprofen.
If the fever returns, it is better to see a doctor, have yourself examined and investigated to know the site and nature of infection.
Asymptomatic urinary infection is a possibility.
You knee may also have to be examined as you had a recent arthroscopy.
Your medicines are not the cause of fever.
Shall appreciate an update on your health.
