What Is The Suggested Medication For High Fever?

My father is 63 years old and is getting high fever everyday for the past 1 week or so along with severe gas and calf muscle pain. He took 2 courses of medicine for regular viral but missed one or two doses in between. Currently third course is going on without missing any doses. But its the third day of the course and fever is very much there. Please advise

Hello
Your father is having fever from last 7-8 days with regular treatment . Still having fever , calf pain and hyper acidity .
In my opinion calf muscle pain and gas formation is due to fever and antibiotics used for treatment .
One thing is clear your father is not having viral fever, this type of fever of long duration may be due to .
1 Typhoid fever so please get in Widal test and serology test.
2 Jaundice so get in blood for serum bilirubin and S G OT , SG PT level.
So in my opinion consult one more physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
