Your temperature fluctuations (98.6â99°F) are within the normal range and do not indicate a fever. The body naturally varies in temperature throughout the day, with slightly higher readings in the evening. Since your CBC, ESR, typhoid, malaria, and urine tests are normal, there's no sign of an active infection.
What You Can Do:
â
Stop Checking Temperature Frequently â Mild variations are normal.
â
Stay Hydrated & Eat Well â Proper nutrition supports immunity.
â
Manage Stress & Sleep Well â Anxiety can cause perceived feverishness.
â
Gentle Exercise â Helps regulate body temperature.
ð¨ See a doctor if you develop:
Weight loss, persistent fatigue, night sweats.
Any new symptoms like swollen lymph nodes or joint pain.

**Dear Patient,**
A persistent low-grade fever (98.6°F–99°F) for 2 months with normal investigations (CBC, ESR, typhoid, malaria, urine) suggests non-infectious causes. Here’s my assessment:
Possible Causes:
1. **Post-Viral Syndrome**: Residual inflammation after prior infection.
2. **Medication Reaction**: Rarely, antibiotics can cause drug fever (though unlikely post-course).
3. **Autoimmune/Inflammatory Conditions**: Low-grade fevers may occur in early stages (e.g., thyroiditis, rheumatological disorders).
4. **Stress/Anxiety**: Can dysregulate body temperature.
5. **Thermoregulatory Dysfunction**: Benign but may need evaluation.
Next Steps:
- **Tests**: CRP, TSH, ANA (if symptoms like joint pain/fatigue arise).
- **Monitor**: Document temperature patterns + associated symptoms (night sweats, weight loss).
- **Avoid Overtesting**: Focus on clinical correlation.
Why Consult Me?
As an **Internal Medicine Specialist**, I specialize in diagnosing elusive fever cases. Your history warrants a detailed review to rule out subtle triggers and provide tailored management.
**Let’s Discuss Further**: Message me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two** for a thorough evaluation. Persistent symptoms need expert attention to prevent unnecessary anxiety.
