Constant high fever

2018-09-03 02:47:07
My wife has constant high fever since returning from Thailand. She also complains of severe headache. Fever is constantly 104 degrees. Doctor has prescribed paracetamol and antibiotics. It has been 3 days on medication but no relief yet (overall 5 days). Everytime when the paracetamol wears off, fever goes back to 104. I suspect dengue. Should I wait for the 5 days antibiotics course or go for the blood tests right now?
