Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. The off and on fever seems concerning. I would insist on getting a blood CRP and procalcitonin levels checked (if not done already) and to share the reports. I would also insist on sending for a scrub typhus panel. I am not sure what you mean by hp. I would insist you to upload that report and also to upload the complete blood count details. If you have the details of temperature spikes, that can really be helpful. I would insist you to share it (if available). Also ask the treating physician whether the liver and spleen are normal or whether they are enlarged. Please share the details.
I would await your response. Based on that I would guide you further.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Iron supplementation needed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your response. The haemoglobin is low and the cause of anaemia needs to be identified. Packed cell volume (PCV) is low indicating the likelihood of iron deficiency anaemia. Iron supplementation is likely to be needed.
Regarding the intermittent fever and associated factors, I have already detailed the steps. Please follow. I will guide you accordingly.
