Hello,
I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern. Fever is usually due to infection and in such cases, specific tests are more useful than a complete body package.
General Advice:
Take adequate rest and drink plenty of fluids.
For fever, basic tests like CBC, urine routine, malaria, dengue, typhoid are usually sufficient.
A â¹5000 full body check-up is more useful as preventive screening when you are otherwise healthy, not during acute illness.
What to monitor:
Duration of fever (more than 3â5 days).
Associated symptoms like rash, abdominal pain, severe headache, or cough.
Any weakness, weight loss, or persistent fatigue.
Medicines:
You may take Paracetamol 500 mg for fever (if no
liver disease/allergy).
Avoid starting antibiotics on your own.
When to consult a doctor immediately:
Very high fever not controlled with medicines.
Breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, or seizures.
Severe vomiting, dehydration, or very low urine output.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
You can connect with me directly on Practo or reach me on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a more personalized consultation.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician
