Brief Answer:
Complete blood count
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I would assume that you have fever since 14th XXXXXXX and not 14th XXXXXXX
The cause of fever most of times is infection. If fever is running for more than three days then you may have to be placed on antibiotics after suspecting the infective agent.
I suggest you to get a blood test called Complete blood count. This provides a clue into what kind of infection is causing the fever so that appropriate treatment can be planned.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
regards,
Complete blood count
