Suggest Treatment For Fever With Back And Hip Pain

Had a heat stroke, doctor prescribed combiflame and antibiotic medicine course for 5 days...and following that there has been constant fever (100,101) which comes almost daily or alternate days towards evening. There was a mild back pain on the left side and going towards Hip and leg. And now it is growing more painful and frequent. Weakness has never gone completely, mornings are ok, but towards end of the day body seems to be drained out. Pneumonia, typhoid, Malaria test are negative. Hemoglobin is 10.2 and even having iron tablets for past 20 days it hasn t increased. ESR cam 120 which alarmed. Right now Mantoux test had been done in almost 40 hours there is no visibile change in the skin. Please suggest... thanks !

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your symptoms are an indication of a chronic infection, and in our setting in indian subcontinent it would have been diagnosed as Tuberculosis, I would recommend you to talk to your doctor regarding this and get TB gold test done to see if this comes out positive. other such infection include atypical mycobacteria, sarciodosis, etc
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
