Question: Hi doctor, my husband has severe body ache and fever. His temp is 103 and not reducing at all. He has taken Dolo 650 morning and afternoon. Electoral 2 glass..
Brief Answer:
Further tests are needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
I can certainly understand your care and concern for your hubby.
Since his fever has not resolved with DOLO it is important to investigate further to rule out infectious diseases.
For this I advice him to get the following tests at the earliest.
1. Complete blood counts.
2. QBC and smear for malaria.
3. Dengue IgM and IgG.
Further management should base on test results.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
You can wait until tomorrow to see a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
You can take him for the prescribed tests tomorrow.
This is absolutely NOT an emergency as he is well backed by antibiotics and Dolo tid.
Don't worry.
Relax for tonight and start up tomorrow.
101 degree F is not a giant temperature for immediate medical attention, especially in the presence antibiotics and antipyretics.
As of now keep monitoring his temperature on hourly basis and report me.
In case if you still feel concerned, you can have my telephonic guidance at any hour.
Post your further queries if any.
