Hello madam, glad that you trust healthcare magic.Low grade fever since when. If its longterm, then of course needs to be evaluated.Hope he got all baseline blood routine examination done comprising of Complete blood count.If accompanied by cough or any difficulty in breathing, pl get a chest X-ray too.If all these done, and normal, could be viral fever/ flu.

hello dear, low grade fever, without aches could be due to several reasons.check the temperature with a thermometer.At an age of 61, all basic blood and urine reports have to be done.Doesnt look viral.Get the blood sugars and BP checked too.
