This is not fever
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
The normal temperature of the humans is 98.6-+0.7 which means temperature from 97.9 to 99.3 degree falls within normal limits..
One of the most commonly referenced text book mentions that "According to studies of healthy individuals 18–40 years of age, the mean oral temperature is 36.8° ± 0.4°C (98.2° ± 0.7°F), with low levels at 6 a.m. and higher levels at 4–6 p.m.
The maximum normal oral temperature is 37.2°C (98.9°F) at 6 a.m. and 37.7°C (99.9°F) at 4 p.m. In light of these studies, an a.m. temperature of >37.2°C (>98.9°F) or a p.m. temperature of >37.7°C (>99.9°F) defines a fever. "
I mean to say that your temperature range falls within normal limits and it is not a fever.
Regarding your other symptoms it appears to me that you are having some nutritional deficiency which can cause similar symptoms and run a chronic course.
I advise you to take multivitamins for a duration of four weeks. I am hopeful that following multivitamins your symptoms will improve.
I also advice you to get "complete blood count with ESR" report from your nearby laboratory. This will help us in identifying most common abnormalities in your blood.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
Thanks and regards

It means recent infection and not for a long time
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.
The acute infection means that it is recent one and not present in body for months or years. For exmple infection of tuberculosis is chronic infection as it remains in the body for years.
On the other hand conditions like malaria, typhoid, viral fever are acute infection as they remain in the body for short period.
In the peripheral blood smear it is identified by the no, of lymphocytes ar neutrophils present. If nutropphils (a type of blood cell) are increased that indicates acute infection and if lymphocytes (a type of blood cell) are increase that point towards chronic infection.
Your blood report clearly indicative that you need antibiotic treatment to control the infection. As the antibiotics are prescription only medications, I request you to see a doctor in your city with your reports.
He may ask for another test for confirmation of infection or to find out the exact cause of infection in your body.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
Thanks and regards
This is almost normal report with slight infection
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back.
The current report is almost normal and do not indicate much infection. There is possibility that you are having mild infection but the possibility is very remote.
In my view it is better to take second report from a standard laboratory as this report does not indicate anything related to your symptoms of six months.
Once you get the another report feel free to write back to me. I will be glad to assist you.
Mean time have a course of Multivitamins and stop worrying about any thing as there is nothing serious.
Thanks and regards
