As you are complaining of fever for the past 10 days still cause of the fever not ruled out.
without ruling out the cause of fever antibiotic(anti bacterial drug -azithromycin,ofloxacin) administration is not advisable.
kindly assess Any other associated symptoms along with fever (liver enlargement,spleen enlargement,myalgia should be ruled out.)or only fever around 99 f may indicates viral origin.As your investigation shows normal
if you feel comfortable day by day and active no need to worry.
as you are recovering from the fever.
if you didn't feel comfort ,fever on and off, tiredness,fatigue or any other symptoms kindly visit a internal medicine specialist to rule out the cause for the fever with proper investigation.(Blood culture advised.)
thank you
