Hello
As you mentioned that in last 18 months you have fever 9 times and normal for dengue , malaria many others ?but fever is present ( according to you ) , so you must be investigated for possible other reasons , these includes.
1 Typhoid fever , usually low grade fever present so get in Widal test as well serology test for confirmation.
2 Tuberculosis is the another most common cause , so get in X ray chest as well as blood for C B C , E S R ( if very >100 mm suggestive of tuberculosis ,in my opinion ,however many doctor don't accept this ).
3 Hepatitis is another such cause so get in HBASG examination .
There are so many other reasons and question to be asked , so consult a physician and get his opinion.
