Fever And Cough - My Father Is Suffering From Fever For The Past

Fever and cough

Asked for Male, 60 Years

My father is suffering from fever for the past few days. Each time I give him a paracetamol his temperature reduces for 3-4 hrs after that again his body temperature rises to 100-102. Also he is shivering very much during fever. He is also having wet cough and not feeling like eating anything. Yesterday I took him to a physician in a hospital and she wrote some tests( CBC,chest x-ray, swine flu test, sputum test). All the reports are normal,only his TLC was 15000. He is taking medicines given by the doctor but still it is not showing any results. Should i get his typhoid and Malaria tests done?(he is not having stomach pain or body pain neither he is having loose motions). Please help
