Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Persistent Mild Fever, Joints Pain And Dry Cough?
I have had a low grade fever, aching joints, and a dry cough for about five weeks. Have no energy. Went out of town last weekend for four days and the symptoms seemed to subside. Got back home on Monday and by Tuesday morning, symptoms returned. The cough was only slight when it first started and has gotten progressively worse, although it still isn t too bad. Could the problem be from mold spores?
Hi...Can understand your concern...As per your query about having mild fever,joints pain and dry coughing may be a viral or a bacterial infection but since it is from a duration of about 1 month ,you need go for blood investigation CBC to know the cause.It may be possible due to some mold spores allergen or smoke dust around your home because when you were out it subsided.Blood investigation will show it and visit a physician for proper evaluation and medication.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
