Wait for widal report. High levels of SGPT indicate hepatitis. Is bilirubin also high ?

Hi,
Does blood test is suggestive of any cause-like decrease in neutrophils etc ?
Is fever associated with chills? at regular intervals ?
His medicines are given on presumptive symptoms.
Wait for WIDAL test and Rapid blood culture so that specific cause is found and treated accordingly.
