Suggest Treatment For High Grade Fever

Hi,

I am currently in US and having fever since last two weeks. I have taken Tylenon, Motrin but they did not help. I have also taken amoxicilin but that didn't help either.

My blood test was negative for influenza, malaria. My urine and flu tests were normal. Doctor here has now recommended me for blood culture test which will take 4-5 days.

My fever is very high and I am feeling very helpless.

I used to visit Dr Amitabh whenever I fell sick. Please advise me what to do.

I shall be very grateful to you.

Hi,
This condition is called Pyrexia of unknown origiun (PUO ).
As all reports are normal, you have to wait till blood culture report.
This might give some clue about your fever.
For further investigations you might require ultra sound abdomen, x-ray chest.
Meanwhile take light diet.
Take plenty of water and liquids.
Take paracetamol for fever as and when required.
Ok and take care.
