What Causes Persistent Fever And Pain In The Eyes?
I have been running a fever for nearly 5 days ranging from 99 to 100. I had a headache that felt like it was in my eyes. When I look around, my eyes seem to ache. Initially I had an uncomfortable stomach with nausea and a lack of appetite, which has passed. Tylenol has helped, but I notice the achey eyes and a fever of 100 remain. I have had no recent tim bites, but my brother, whom I haven t seen for 3 weeks is experiencing similar symptoms. When should I seek medical attention?Sorry, thought this was a free advice line. I did not read carefully and will likely visit a physician in person.

Hello!
Is the fever accompained by chills and shivering? And how many hours does it take for the fever to recur?
This is the viral and malaria season. I am sorry I don't know which region you're from but this looks like a typical viral or malarial fever.
Start with-
- Tab Paracetamol 500 mg 6 hourly for 3 days
- ORS
- Plenty of fluids
- Tepid sponging if the fever is too high
Get the following investigations done-
- Complete blood count (sp. Platelet count)
- Peripheral Blood Film for Malarial Parasite
- Rapid Diagnostic test for Malaria
- Chest Xray PA view
- LFT
- Urine routine examination
- Widal test
- Weil Felix test
