Hello!
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor service'!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an infection.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
-a chest X ray study
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- blood bacterial culture
- a urine analysis
- urine bacterial culture.
Further tests may be needed to investigate for the type of infection.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
