Suggest Remedies For Persistent Fever
I have a friend that has a fever that spikes to 104 every day for the last 7 days. She is taking Tylenol to reduce the fever which temporally lowers it. She went to a clinic 10 days ago for the fever but it continues. The clinic told her she has a virus and recommended the Tylenol. Should she go to a hospital for this?

Hello,
She has a fever for seven days. Usually, the viral infection gets resolved in a week.
As fever is persistent I suggest you investigate her as follow...
_CBC
_Widal test
_liver profile reports
_CRP
You can revert back with reports once done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
