hi
thanks for the enquery
u have not completed the course of antibiotic
probably for that fever recurs
so to start an antibiotic
send 2 samples of blood for culture and sensitivity
along with urine R/E and C/S, dual antigen test for malaria
take plenty of water
it may be viral illness also
take paracetamol as and when needed
most of the viral infection goes on its own
if any abnormality detected in the above prescribed test consult ur doctors
get well soon
thank u
