2021-10-22 09:34:36
I have been experiencing fever from last 1 day, I'm taking dolo-500 since last day, yesterday the fever was 99.7, in morning it was 100.9 and after taking dolo-500...now it is 99.1. There are alot of dengue virus cases in my area in the last 1 week. Should I go and test myself for dengue or malaria? If yes, please help by specifying the test name!
