Hi Shivam,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
High grade fever what you are suffering should be evaluated by tests to rule out 3 common conditions namely malaria, typhoid and dengue.
For getting tested for Dengue and Typhoid, the following tests needs to be done:
1. Dengue antigen - antibody test and Platelet count.
2. Widal test and blood culture for typhoid.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you speedy recovery.
