Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you are having fever and other constitutional symptoms for last 10 days and the symptoms still persists even after taking the medications.
As the symptoms are not coming down, I would suggest you to undergo lab investigations to find out the cause for your sustained symptoms. Your blood and urine test will help us to identify the cause for your symptoms.
After diagnosing the condition appropriate treatment can be given to control the symptoms. Thank you.
