Pattern of fever is very important to observe....also as it is less than 7 days the fever is not chronic but still you need to discuss what other symptoms you have with fever to narrow diagnosis........still possiblities in your case could be: 1.typhoid 2.pneumonia 3.urine infection 4.occult abscess

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Whats the use of thyroid test here i do not understand. Get your WIDAL test and dengue test done and consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Dont sit at home. He will examine you and suggest further. Best regards.
