Hello Sandeep,
You told your father is having fever from last one month and went through number of teats, but it would be very helpful to reach at diagnosis if you can describe the pattern of fever and also any associated signs or symptoms. If you can tell the results of tests then it would be very useful. Kindly also mention whether your father is suffering from any other illness or taking any drugs.
Thank you.
