Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No high fever for two weeks raises suspicious of some severe infection.

I advice you to investigate your self completely.

Once the investigation is completed we can conclude the disease and its type of infection.

I suspect typhoid fever or dengue fever. Please investigste the cause for further management of the disease.

Till the report came I advice you to take paracetamol for control of fever.

Maintain the essential hydration. Take the enough food.

You can give a cold water sponge if the temperature is not responding.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
