Pet Scan Advise - My Father(59)Is Suffering From Fever( 100.4)

Pet scan advise

Asked for Female, 31 Years

My father(59)is suffering from fever( 100.4) on and off but it will come daily once- since last month. He is also having chronic constipation ( 1 year) and now complaining about stomach pain. We have admitted him in hospital and got all his test done ( blood test, malaria, dengue, X ray, ct scan chest abdominal, ultrasound). All reports are normal except esr (vary between 40-85). Doc is unable to understand what is the cause as he is already right side paralyzed with no voice, so doc cannot perform colonoscopy and now he has suggested for pet scan. Please advise is this the only option.
