hai,
i appreciate you concern sir,
As for a viral fever antibiotic administration is not advised. because antibiotics is meant for bacterial born infection.
normally viral fever will persist for 7 to 10 days depends upon the severity.
as your investigation was normal no need to worry.as other symptoms getting settled.
but your wife complaining of fever on and off especially in night may indicates some systemic involvement and other infection like tuberculosis.
i kindly advise you consult a internal medicine specialist to rule out the clear cause of fever and further medical management.
Thank you
hope answered your query
