Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
Information provided is inadequate.
Does he have any associated symptoms?
What investigations are done till now?
What medication has he taken till now?
These information is lacking and so nothing can be commented.
It looks out to be some form of fever of unknown origin which needs clinical monitoring of daily pattern of fever and need some more advanced diagnostic tests.
With regards,
Dr.Akash Jain.
