Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern and situation.
Thanks for your query at HCM.

I went through your query. You are having symptoms of fever, headache and vomiting. Do have blurring of vision, neck pain, pain in ear, ? Your most investigations have been normal and rest ordered. SGPT or SGOT is considered abnormal only when raised three times normal levels so no need to worry. Wait for other investigations to come. But the symptoms you are telling are suggesting meningitis or other infection. I suggest you to get properly examined by neurological and undertake lumbar puncture and CT Scan of Head based on clinical examination findings. As rest investigations for malaria, typhoid, etc are normal still you can go for a repeat test from reputed laboratory. You also must get your stool examination done for microscopy examination and culture sensitivity test. Monitor fever, blood pressure. Seek emergency help if symptoms deteriorate. Treatment will be based on investigations and examination.Follow up with investigations to me. Drugs beneficial are acetaminophen when fever and headache, doperidome for vomiting. Take rest and eat protein rich balanced diet with multivitamins and calcium supplements daily.


Take care.

Continue with the treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I reviewed your reports there is no abnormality seen. You are being prescribed cefixime ( Ceftas 400 mg) which must be taken twice daily for at least 10 days to cure infections if any. Edison D 40 mg is Esomeprazole for duodenal ulcers, Ato Z is multivitamins and Hifenac P is anti-inflammatory containing acelophenac 100 mg and paracetamol 650 mg. If your symptoms improve you continue with treatment it is my suggestion. If any deterioration in symptoms visit a doctor and stay in follow up.I believe you will be fine no need to be worried.
Best of health
Take care.
