Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You have to check for the common causes like two things you have mentioned is malaria and dengue, third one is TB. TB causes evening rise in temperature.

TB temperature are particularly not a high its a low fever.

I advice you should think for it. You must be tested for it

In other causes we can include common viral fever, this nothing requires a treatment it will go of with limited time period.

I advice you should be investigated for both.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
