Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an infection. For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests:
- A complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
- A chest x-ray study.
- A bacterial blood culture.
- A urine analysis.
- A urine bacterial culture.
- Kidney and liver function tests.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
