Thanks for posting your query to hcm. There a lot of causes for fever but as I understand it is unlikly to typhoid as in this condition fever is high grade and continuous and there is no raised eosinophil count. If you are suspect7ng jaundice go for serum bilirubin test.
raised eosinophil count with fever suggestive of some kind of allergic condition or parasitic condition .your problemappear to be .filarial illness.so you should investigated for blood film examination for filarial parasite .after confirmation I will suggest treatment .presently for fever you can take paracetamol 750 mg (adult dose).
