Hi,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
If I were the treating physician ,I would look for few more information like
>Time when fever rises
>Pattern of rising temperature,highest temperature recorded
>Rash
>Travel history
>Respiratory symptoms
>Signs of organ enlargement and
>Any other local or systemic positive findings etc.

Then I might have suggested some laboratory investigations specially blood for culture and sensitivity.

Since your wife has been suffering for almost 3 weeks,my opinion is that : Please consult with an internal medicine specialist.

Hope this helps you.If you have additional queries ,please do not hesitate to write us.We will be happy to answer.

Wish your wife a rapid cure.
