Should I Have IV Moncef For Fever?
I get fever in the evenings after about 7PM up to about 102F. It goes down after taking peracitamol. This is going since more than two weeks. I have taken two courses of antibiotic. The tests for malaria and typhoid are negative. Chest X Ray is clear. One Dr says it is viral and will go away in due course other has diagnosed it as typhoid and advised IV Moncef. Advice requested.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Fever of two weeks should be evaluated properly.
Inj Monocef would help you if you are having Typhoid fever.
I advise you following investigations:
1. Hemogram with ESR
2. LFT, KFT
3. Blood Culture
4. Widal Test
5. Urine R/M
6. Ultrasound Abdomen.
Once you have the reports review with me.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
