Hi,
Thank you for your query,
What about the CBP report?
Are malaraial and widal test done and what are the results?
What is urine report?
These reports also important in the evaluation of fever of more than 8 to 9 days.
As the ESR is high mantoux test and chest x ray to be done to rule out Koch disease.
So send the other reports to advise you in a better way.
Hope I have answered your query.
