General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Fever and headache could be due to malaria, typhoid, viral fever.
I would suggest you to undergo routine blood counts with differential counts and blood test to rule out malaria, any other pathogen predominant in your region.
So diagnosis should be confirmed by only after tests result.
It is difficult to tell confirm about the typhoid.
Meanwhile take following advises:
Continue Taxim O according to doctor advise.
Take paracetamol for fever
Tablet rantac before meal
Proper rest, drink plenty of warm water, take home made juice of fresh fruits
Avoid outside food and water.
Other treatment will depend on the test result
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
