Fever is a symptom of an underlying disease. There are many causes of fever such as malaria, typhoid, infectious mononucleosis, TB, Dengue etc.
Advice
1. Azithral 500 mg daily per oral for 5 days
2. Tablet Dolo per oral if fever occurs. Avoid Meftal
3. Continue liquid diet and ORS
4. Drink 4 – 5 liters of water daily
5. Cold water sponging if fever is more than 100 degree Farenheight
6. Investigations – CBC, Widal test, blood smear for malarial parasite, and dengue NS1 antigen
Consult a doctor with reports if fever is not relieved by above measures.
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
