Could Recurring Fever Diagnosed Due To Infection Be Serious?
Good day, my husband has been getting a fever for the last 2 weeks, we have gone from one antibiotics to the next, this weekend he got a fever again and we went to the doctor which drew blood. ESR 64mm/hr and monocyte of 1.01 the doctor advised this could be an infection so he gave him another course of antibiotics for 10 days. Is there anything we should be worried about or go see a physician?

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you to go for blood for culture and sensitivity. Since the cause of infection is not known so first important parameter is to check whether it bacterial or parasitic or viral infection. There afterr we can start our treatment accordingly.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
