What Causes Recurring High Fever?
I suffered high fever before 15 days. Suddenly my body started shivering. Doctor gave me some tablets and in 3 days I recovered fully. Today again suddenly I got same type of fever. I went to another doctor. He gave me dolo, some amoxlin combination and citrezen. Fever is between 101 to 103.He suggested me that no blood test is required. If it is virul fever, why I for it again within span of 2 weeks. Pls suggest.
