Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult your doctor for this.
Fever is suggestive of active infection.
So you might be having recurrent upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lung infection which is causing this fever.
You will need blood reports like CBC (complete blood count) and chest x ray.
So consult your doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
