What Causes Persistent Fever With Sweating In A Liver Disorder Patient?
I am suffering from Liver disease with ALT-124 and having fever about 2 months up and down with shivering accompanied with sweatning a lot. with malaria mp and widal is negative. Doctor prescribed me to take medicine tab Lumerax 80 for 3 days and udilve for 6 days. suggest me is it malaria or anything else
Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details. The drug Lumerax is Artemether an antimalarial. It is prescribed because most often it is very difficult to see malaria parasite in the blood. Hence, clinicians do give anti malaria treatment based on the symptoms and signs. That is the reason you have been asked to take that drug. Udilive is a drug to help dissolve gall stones. There is possibility that doctor is considering that there may be a problem of that nature.Rise in ALT is suggestive of some abnormality in liver. Thanks.
