Recurrent Fever for 4-5 months
In about every 15 days or so the fever comes back and my father has to take paracetamol 650 along with an antibiotic for about a week and he is fine for another few days. This has been recurring for quite some time now. No cough, any joint aches or any other problems. He is on medication for Sugar and Pressure. All kinds of diagnostic results for Sugar, Kidney, Liver, Malaria, Tuberculosis etc are fine. Our family doctor says its viral but I am worried, please please suggest something. Recently consulted a doctor here and She prescribed doxycycline 100 mg. I hope it helps.
