Brief Answer:
You can take it in evening

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Fever profile test maybe taken 5 days after onset of fever to rule out viral as a cause.

You may take it after 7-8 hrs fasting. No correlation with dolo.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
After 5 days of fever

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

It is advisable to have the fever profile after 5 days of fever. The reason is that most fevers (especially virals) get better by themselves in 5 days. If its not improving then continue with the test.
