Constant high fever

Question

Constant high fever

Asked for Female, 28 Years

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?
