Dnt worry, the fever will gradually come down. If all reports are normal, its a viral fever and the trend of viral fever is lasting for 7-10 days. Opportunistic infections will come down with antibiotics. Keep him hydrated and light food. He will be ok.

The first diagnosis is viral fever. It may last a week before the temperature starts coming down. The treatment is like for any fever. Please share the CBC report if it has been done. Get his Dengue Antigen and Typhoid antibodies test done again. Get the urine culture done. Some causes may be found now even though the tests were negative earlier.

Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking fluids will improve heat loss from the skin and replace water lost through sweating. Water and clear broth are healthy choices. Infants under 6 months should only have breast milk or formula. Rest. You need rest to recover, and activity can raise your body temperature. Stay cool. If you aren't shivering, dress in light clothing, keep the room temperature cool, and sleep with only a sheet or light blanket.

**Opinion:** I understand your anxiety regarding your husband's condition. Persistent fever despite normal test results and ongoing treatment can be concerning, especially when it recurs every 6 hours. The fact that he otherwise appears stable, with no joint pains or other significant symptoms, suggests that while his body is still fighting something, the underlying cause might need further investigation. This could be a less common infection, a reaction to medication, or another condition that hasn't yet been identified. **Next Steps:** 1. **Comprehensive Evaluation:** It's important to conduct a more thorough examination and possibly run additional tests to identify the exact cause of the persistent fever. Advanced diagnostics, such as blood cultures, imaging studies, or specific viral panels, might be necessary. 2. **Medication Review and Adjustment:** The current treatment plan, including antibiotics, may need to be reviewed and adjusted. Sometimes, a change in medication can make a significant difference in how the body responds to treatment. 3. **Specialist Consultation:** In some cases, involving a specialist, such as an infectious disease expert, can provide new insights and lead to more targeted treatment. 4. **Ongoing Monitoring:** Continuous monitoring in the hospital is essential to ensure that any changes in his condition are promptly addressed. Staying hydrated and maintaining nutritional intake will support his recovery. Given the complexity of the situation, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with me. This will allow us to discuss your husband’s symptoms and treatment plan in detail, ensuring that every possible cause is thoroughly investigated and addressed. I am here to support you through this challenging time and to provide the best possible care for your husband. Please reach out to me directly so we can work together to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
