Hello Welcome to HCM
You are having what is called as fever of unknown origin (FUO). As you have undergo all the lab test andall have come negative.
Fever for 15 days withall investigation coming negative fulfill the definition of FUO.
You sbould be managed symptomaticaly. You need anti pyretics, antibiotics and NSAIDs. If the symptoms are not coming down you may require hospitalization.
Thank you.
