Hi Doctor ...
Okay, please go ahead
actually i have sore throat infection with fever for past 2 weeks now
Okay
i have been taking antibiotics for past 5 days
today is my last day
Okay
of antibiotic
today i have a fever of 99.5
Okay
with slight dis comfort in neck
or throat
can u tell me why fever is not going
is it something serious
99.5
I can not say if it is serious or not without examining you
what examination is needed
and what serious could be
A physical examination
can it be just a viral
A viral fever will not last more than a week at the most
so it highly unlikely to be just a viral fever
but with throat infection
it could be an infection which may go
once the infection goes
It could be
so what should i do
i got all my blood test done
But as I have told you the last time we had a chat, you need to get some basic blood tests done
and also chest xray
ESR was 27
except that all is almost within range
yes
but today being last day and still having fever of 99.5
should i go for examination
Yes, you should consult your physician again
You should get the typhid and malaria test done
ok
I mean typhoid
ok
Please get these tests done along with a throat swab for culture and sensitivity
ok
And consult your doctor with these reports, he/she should be able to treat you accordingly.
It is very difficult for me to suggest anything without being able to examine you personally
