Hello
You wife is having high grade fever ( 104 ) and whenever she take dolo 650 mg ( paracetamol ) , fever subsides .
As she tested for malaria , dengue , typhoid and all are negative , so such type of fever with chills , may be due to these reasons >
1 Viral ,as it will usually takes 5-7 days with mild cough .
2 Urinary tract infection may be the next reason of such fever . Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture examination.
3 Jaundice is another such cause of fever. Diagnosis can be confirmed by HBASG for hepatitis A, B C E.
In my opinion wait for another 2-3 days and till give her dolo as whenever require .
However , beside this also consult another doctor for 2nd opinion as physical examination also find out other reason of fever.
Good luck.
