Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

I understand your concern for your brother.

There are many reasons for the fever. Fever is just the manifestation of underlying disease, which needs to be evaluated.

I don't think you should worry for 10 days old fever, as there are effective treatments available.

I would suggest your brother to get evaluated for the cause of fever. It would include blood tests like complete blood count, Widal test for typhoid fever, peripheral smear for malaria, etc.

He can take Tab. Crocin 500 mg whenever required for fever. I would advise him to drink lot of water and proper rest also, as it will speed up recovery.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available if you have any followup query.

Wish you and your brother a very good health.

Regards,

Dr. Jyoti Patil.
